Garmin ?

I have a Garmin 240 in the driver dash and the screen for a while had horizontal lines in it, this weekend almost the whole screen went out, I was wondering if the unit is bad or the transducer, I looked at the transducer and it seemed fine.

I've had two 240's do that. Both times it was due to water getting inside while fishing in downpours. Apparently they are not sealed too well.
Mine was on the bow and mounted kind of flat so that most likely didn't help with the rain hitting directly on the screen.

That makes sense, because it got moisture behind the sceen. I supose I will be looking for a new one.

You can send it back to Garmin & have fixed for about $80.00 I have had to send both of mine back for pretty much the same problem you are having!! It's cheaper than buying a new unit, just thought it would give you a cheaper & easier fix....

Or you could buy a Lowrance & not have to worry about it any more.
