How do I know if my transducer fish finder is working?

How do you test a fish finder transducer? The first thing you can do to check if your transducer is working is to turn it on and touch its surface. You should be able to feel the sound pulses as vibrations, and often you can also hear them as clicking sounds.

Thank you, Happy to serve!
