Question posted by pjformula on July 5th, 2017
What Wires Go To What Pins On The Gsd 20 Transducer Connection? I Believe I May
I believe I may have an incorrect connection sequence inside the GSD 20 at the transducer connection. I continue to get a "check wiring" error but I have correctly checked the wiring for the installation several times and all is good. Even had the local boat shop confirm the wiring connection and the transducer selection.
