Title: Display on humminbird 718
Post by: Mossy on August 21, 2012, 01:17:35 AM: Okay, feeling like a moron right about now. Had this installed on my boat when I bought it but I haven't messed around with it much since. Checking out the specs online it says temp is built in but try as I might, I don't see a temperature display. Anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks

Have you tried returning it to default mode?

Temperature should work even out of the water, will just give you air temperature.

Opened the box and the repair slip said there was nothing wrong with the unit so it must be the transducer.....great. Well underneath the unit was a brand new transducer and they also installed updates at no charge. I think I'll stay with the humminbird line when I upgrade.
