Sub-Troll Temp readings.

[freebird18]

Looking if anyone with  a Sub-Troll 900 has had issues with faulty temp readings. I was getting 83 degrees on my unit this past week. Has this occurred on yours, what possible solutions did it require to eliminate. Appreciate any and all responses. My unit is about 12 years old. There is NO water intrusion into probe. Using a Lithium battery as well. I did use a Swivel between the Cable end and probe.

Many Thanks, Tight lines, smooth sailing.

Easiest is to swap the battery.  Are there any bare spots in the cable?  Are all other metal connections insulated from the water (as best you can)?  Are you getting this reading all the time?  Below a certain depth?

Orangediablo, only used ! time this season just to check. Battery is a Lithium/brand new. Checked the cable last fall and will check again. Appeared to be fine. May consider running a separate wire directly to DC battery. Will look to upgrade the insulation procedure and eliminate as much bare wire as possible. I appreciate your taking time to offer some suggestion.

 

Thanks a bunch.

If you can't get it working you can send it to Big Blue Enterprises in Buffalo. They can recalibrate it. I had mine done earlier this yr.
