Help finding transducer
 
My depth sounder has never worked since owning my boat. Does anyone know where they typically put the transducer in a 27 fever and the best way to access it? I'm assuming I will have to replace. Gafrig says to see if the transducer is pinging And then follow the wires.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my 29 it is in the cabin. As you step into the cabin there is a storage area under that step. Mine is under the black mat in that storage area. It looks like a small hockey puck with wires going to your dash. You could also check under your dash and make sure it is connected. Mine has come loose before and I had to reconnect it. Are you getting any power to your guage? It should have power but it will not read depth until you are in the water.

+1 on the location I had to put a new transducer and gauge in, works great now.
At least up to about 50.

It lights up when I turn the dash lights on.

Hey, guys, is the stock transducer angled for the 24 degree deep Vee? Or is it flat and faces straight down? Thx.
