hds 5 water temp problem
Submitted by silly on Wed, 2010-11-10 19:02
I'm having problems with my hds 5. I've taken it out for a run on the river and seems the transducer is working well except for the water temp is showing 33-34 degrees. Is there something that needs to be calibrated or could there be something wrong with the transducer or unit??

my temp on the transom mount
my temp on the transom mount seems to work fine, there was only around a 0.4C difference between my dive computer and the sounder.
I can't think of any reason for the big difference with yours, it's not getting hit with the tell tail cooling water from the outboard is it?

i'm hoping it was just tempermental that day.

nah mine was good from the get go. Have you selected your transducer from the menu on the unit? Maybe it thinks it's getting its info from the wrong model of transducer? That's all I can come up with

thanks tim, actually come to think about it i had to select generic as i didnt have the transducer model number handy. I'll give that a go and see if that does the trick
