Scratches on trolling motor sonar transducer

Will scratches on a sonar transducer affect the operation of a depth finder. I have a Lowrance X-67 color unit that shows the depth fine but doesnâ€™t show color definitions unless Iâ€™m in shallow water, six feet or less or so.

I have another transducer I can swap out if need be.

No they dont,mine is all scratched up and it works fine.Check your settings on the unit sounds like they may have been accidently changed.

I HAVE THE 100C , IT WORKS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO AS DEEP AS DON PEDRO IS IN COLOR, IT HAS SCRATCHES ON IT ALSO ! MAYBE YOU HAVE OTHER ISSUES ? OR YOU BANGED IT HARD ON SOMETHING ?

Bill. I have had a couple of transducers that were pretty scratched up and they always worked just fine. Your color unit probably has some other problem, adjustments somewhere or something with the unit itself. I would call the company and see what they can offer for solving. Bill K

See you at Clearlake??

I think I fixed my problem. I did the old electronics term, reseated computer. I think it actually worked this time. The electronic principle of FM, worked again.
