good to see how well will it pick up a jig? Mine just has a power cord no transducer so I don't even know if it works yet. I' got transducers and case here and a power cord. Still crossing fingers it gets here; and it powers up.

it doesn't power up; looks to be some corrosion issues at the transducer and power harness. I'll try to get that cleaned up later. There was also corrosion on the fuse and fuse holder inside. The range knob isn't able to move. I think the motor is shot too. It still a ok buy there was a openwater transducer and a small johny ray mount.
