Anyone Have An Old Lowrance Transducer?

Recommended Posts

If anyone has a Lowrance transducer they are not using, let me know. I need one for my trolling motor. Mine decided to tell me SWEPCO was 250ft deep today when it would actually pickup the bottom. Its toast.

Lowrance 67c.

Its the standard transducer for the lower end units. The wiring harness plugs in only and has about 4 or 5 pins I think. It doesn't have a screw connection.

Great! Thanks!

Its an external. I am mounting it to my trolling motor. It has a metal bracket that's made for the transducer.

This is the power cable for it. You can see the adapter type required.

Also, below is an image of the transucer that ypically comes with the power cable attached.

This transducer has a different power connection but I'm thinking the wiring is the same and can be spliced to the connector that I have as shown in the first image. Pins match up so the wiring should be the same. Just need to take the screw-type connector off and splice in the plug in connector.

I VERY much appreciate it!

Did you try re-booting the unit? Every LCR I have ever owned kinda looses it's mind periodically (usually after getting in extreme shallow water where the return signal doubles, triples, and quadruples confusing the unit).

Turn the unit on and put the transducer in the palm of your hand....if you can feel it "ticking" and the ticking maintains a rhythm it is probably not a failed transducer.

Yeo. It didn't tick at all. I reset all settings with the reset option, plugged and unplugged , and I even swapped my helm unit with the bow unit to see if it was the graph. It was the transducer. I even tapped the transducer with my pocket knife to see if something was hung (old mechanics trick lol!!) and like expected.....it helped but not for long.
