Fish hawk x4

[Little Crappie]

Ok so my fish hawk is not reading down temp or speed and I believe the probe works as the red light blinks when I drop it in water. So I'm thinking it's the transducer? I'm wondering in its even worth trying to open up the end connector and trying to make sure the connections are solid or just buy a new triducer. Thanks for lookin!

I would leave the transom ducer alone, try your probe on someone else's boat to rule out the probe. Once you break the seal on the ducer, it will be open to water infiltration.

Good luck

I assume you changed the battery.  First thing I would try even if red light goes on.

I put new batteries in, they were from the local camp store so they could be old, maybe I'll double check em

I had a similar problem. It turned out to be the connections on the back of the display unit. I pulled them out cleaned them off put them back in and bingo everything works again.

I should try that, just tried an 840 probe, don't even think that probe worked lol, tried new batteries, gonna use a wire and clean connections next

I had same as rolmops....... I have two boats set up with fishhawk. I took the probe that was acting up and used it on the other boat. Worked perfect. Back and forth I tried between boats and probes. Ended up the wires it the back of the display were loose.

Thanks for all the replies, I used my buddies probe at the dock and it turns out my x4 probe is defective cause his gave a reading and mine didn't.
