I have the same issues with my Elite 4 DSI, including the thin yellow line at the top.  I hope you have better luck with Lowrance than I have had.  I sent an email today to Customer Service.  Another email with the same issues might get their attention.

Good Luck

I would be glad to send them the unit.  I would not be glad to pay $65. and have my unit sent back, not working, as they did with Traildad.  September is my fishing month.  I need a unit that works.  Whether it is a Lowrance is not my highest priority.

I did some diagnostics on the voltage and current of my Lowrance unit, and my connections to the battery.  I have zero ohms in my fuse and connectors.  I also wired the Lowrance harness directly to the battery, without my wiring connections or the fuse.  The unit's readings were the same.  Do you know the normal operating DC current of a an Elite 4 DSI?

Thanks for you input and your expertise.

I have a very similar situation.  I have an Elite 4 DSI, about 3 years old.  The transducer is mounted in my Hobie in the transducer well.  It has always worked great--until last week.  I was at Klamath the week before and had no problems; depth, bottom structure, fish, GPS, Steer and Chart, water temp and speed all worked perfectly. 

Labor Day Weekend weekend I went to New Melones.  Depth, temp, and bottom structure went haywire.  I had a flashing 60 for depth, no bottom structure, and water temp of 122.  I tried restarting the unit, adjusting different settings, different colors, and different depth ranges.  The best output I could produce was a flashing depth with no bottom structure, tree structure or fish. Water temp stayed at 122. Lowrance Customer Support was not available on the holiday weekend and  there is no trouble shooting section in the manual.

I called Lowrance Customer Service Department when I got home.  I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with a very helpful tech.  I have the latest software and we did soft re-sets and hard re-sets.  I checked battery voltage, 12.6.  I checked wiring and battery connections.  I even put my Kayak in the swimming pool with similar results.  Water temp did work accurately.

Yesterday I recharged the battery, re-checked all connections, and removed and checked the transducer.  I then took the kayak to Shadow Cliffs and parked in a nice shady spot in about 6 feet of water.   I could see the vegetation on the bottom and lots of fingerling fish, plus a curious bass that had to be four pounds.  I turned on the Lowrance and it confirmed that I was in 6.0 feet of water, but with no bottom structure..  That reading lasted about two minutes; then I got my blank screen with a flashing 60.  I called Lowrance.  We went through the resets again, each time getting a different result, but no correct depth or bottom structure.  The Simulator and water temp did work.

I asked the customer service rep what options were available to me.  I was told that I could send the unit in and have it bench checked.  If the unit was found to be faulty, I could get a replacement, or upgrade to a new and improved model for a reasonable charge.  If the unit bench-checked OK, it would be sent back to me and I would be charged $65. If the problems re-occured, I would have to send the unit back again, for another $65.  The service rep also told me that I should find someone who has the same unit and test my unit, using the transducer on the other unit.  I asked if I could send my transducer in to be checked.  The answer was "NO," they do not check transducers, even though they sell them with the units, and they may be the source of the problem. 

I asked if could just trade my unit in on a new unit rather than pay $65, plus shipping, for a good chance of still having a non-working piece of equipment.  The answer again was "NO."

It appears that Lowrance does not warranty or bench test their transducers,  they do not warranty against an intermittent problem that doesn't show up in a bench test, and they really don't care what customers think about their service policy. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Doug

My point and shoot camera died and I got a Go Pro Hero 3+. I figured how to take pics and videos. I loaded the Go Pro App on my iPhone and have the two communicating.

How do I fast forward the video and cut the images I want?

Does anyone know of a better instruction source than the manual that comes with camera?

Thanks

Doug

You can't be too careful!

2007 Hobie Revo 13 with depth finder/GPS, Turbo fins, built in forward trolling rod holder, live bait tank with rod holders.  Dune color.

$1100.

Makes me wonder about cabezon.  I cleaned one that had over 20 crabs, one about 3 inches, in its gut.

That is a great unit.  I have one on my 07 Revo and it still works great.  Just keep dielectric grease on the connections.
