depth raider issues

[rlconverse]

i bought a "new" used depth raider off this site, got it mounted on my boat never having used one before  hooked it up on the rigger wired up the read out and spooled up new coated rigger wire. i striped back the end of  the coated wire and tied it directly to the swivel then wrapped it in the water proof tape. Tried it Sunday with no luck of it working. I did put a new battery in the probe. is their any way of testing the probe to see if its functional. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thankz.

Possible you have the probe upside down and not using the correct tab?

Check your antenna connection (the RCA plugs) to make sure they are not corroded. Make sure probe is correct way up. Does the display turn on just no readout? Also make sure the swivel you are using is all metal and not painted.
