831 Area Dragonfly Owners Needed.

See the attached link regarding my fishfinder problems.  Is there a Dragonfly owner within reasonable driving distance of Santa Cruz who would be willing to help me troubleshoot / isolate the problem with my fish finder before I return it to Raymarine; AGAIN.

All I would need is 5 minutes to plug my head unit into your transducer and power source, and vice versa.  I will bring you a beer of your choice.  My Dragonfly clean and healthy and has no communicable diseases.

Shoot, wish I saw this earlier today, I was in SC today and had my dragonfly with me

If you ever come over to sj you're welcome to use my setup

Are you sure you cleaned the contacts on the plug? I did find out mine was corroded was I plugged in my unit to FishingAddict's power/transducer and it worked fine. I used a needle to remove the corrosion and works fine ever since.
I was almost ready to spring for another transducer. Too bad I'm up here in Fremont.
Good luck.

If you're in Fremont let me or P-Sherman know.

Bump.   Last try.

Wish I could help ya Matt, but only have Lowrance units myself.  ave you tried calling WestMarine to see if they have a head unit on display you could test with? 

Shoulda bought a new rod & reel instead of a fancy fishfinder!

In retrospect you are right, but I couldn't pass up on the lightning deal. Remember this one?

Im wondering if they sent me a bunk unit for a "deal you cant refuse"; or if I just allowed corrosion to form in the ducer cable.  Either way I am getting pretty bummed out about it. My Humminbird has always worked, every time, forever.  The dragonfly has a very pretty display, but Im starting loosing my enthusiasm for it.  I even cut a big hole in my boat for the dam thing.
