Did you ever get this figured out?

I did not. From what I've read though the cheaper lowrance units are hit or miss. I only paid 80 bucks for it after rebates and sale.
I ended up upgrading to a Garmin echomap plus 64cv.

Right on. I've heard similar things. The kayak life is probably the harshest environment for a sonar. Often its corrosion on the connector pins or power supply terminals that causes problems, but also the power supply fuse can give you issues too. Ever since I had like three of those damn fuses corrode I wont even install it anymore.

You will have to let us know how you like your Garmin, I have heard good things.
