My tri data ( Autohelm ) has decided not to work this season on depth and water temp . I had a simular failure two years ago mid season . I followed trouble shooting hints from Autohelm and even sent the display unit to the factory . ( It was returned with no problems found ) I removed the transducer and jumpered it together with the display unit ( per Autohelms directions ) and a battery and hung the transducer over the sea wall into the water . All worked as it should . I reinstalled everything back in the boat and again and everything worked fine . This has lasted until this season . The knot log functions fine but the depth reads "0" and the water temp. reads 460 degrees . I have checked for loose connections but have not checked the transducer ( Faint ticking sound when you hold your ear to the transducer ) as the boat is in the water . I am hoping for an easy fix as I am not looking forward to pulling the boat out of the water nor can I chance a season on Lake Michigan with the water levels being so low this year . HELP !!! John
