Hummingbird LCR 400 ID

[joblo33]

The wire for the reciever on my LCR 400 ID isn't long enough to reach the back of the boat, so I cut it and patched in another 5 feet. Are there any adjustments to be done after this? Was it a dumb thing to do or will it work? Do I need to use sheilded wire? I just used maring grade insulated 14 guage. Also when I go fast the finder freaks out and tells me that there are fish everywhere and that my little lake is 500 feet deep. Is it only supposed to work at slow speed?<br />Eric

It was a dumb thing to do, Eric, but it looks like you got away with it.<br /><br />As far as freaking out, that is what H'birds do.

Time for a new unit. I just replaced my LCR 400. It behaved the same as yours. There is a whole world under your boat that you are missing with that old hbird unit. <br /><br />I can't tell you if the patch will work or not.
