Hello
I’m hoping someone can help me on this issues.
I have a Garmin Echmap94SV plus unit and using a Airmar P79 transducer.
I installed the transducer in the recommended area with RV anti freeze but not getting a depth reading. I tried contacting Airmar and they are no help and called Garmin with no help either.
I have seen Airmar makes many various models under the P79 transducer. Airmar indicated it should work.
apparently there is no way to test the transducer according to both manufacturers.
Before I purchase a Garmin similar unit I figured I would reach out to you all for advice.
thanks in advance
