The chart on my 334 stops and starts. I can hear the transducer stop clicking.

I have tried it on my ice  transducer and my boat transducer on the trailer in the garage.

On the boat it will run untill I put my foot under the transducer. The ice transducer will work if I hold it steady. Any comments or I am  stuck calling the tech line.

Does it happen when the transducer(s) is in the water? The unit will act differently if the transducer is out of the water. It will be "searching" for the bottom and might start and stop the chart, or you might hear the transducer clicking slower than normal or clicking erratically.

The start stop is exactly what it does when it is not in the water. The only other time I have had this issure was in VERY shallow water.

The reason I say this is that the second last time I used it gave me problems is water 8-12 feet deep with weeds. The last time I used it It worked great in deep clear water.

But I tried to use it in a hole in the ice last week and it would not operate in water deeper

then a spud bar. So the next thing I tried was in air.  Note: the gel cell was at 11.4 volts when I tried it on the ice.

I did a soft reset, and it works again, even on the kitchen floor.
