Does anyone know.... did Humminbird buy out Bottom Line??? I've got an older Bottom Line Tournament Champion finder that needs a new xducer, but I can't find a web page for Bottom Line. Any advice?

Travis, no offense but why not buy some quality electronics?

My Grandpa bought this finder back in 94....... at that time he paid over $800 for it, and by the standards of the day it was a great finder. Now, you can get something equal to it for $200, but my Grandpa (being 80 years old) still thinks that HIS finder is the best out there...blah blah blah..... so, rather than argue with him to trash it and get a new one, I'm trying to get this xducer issue fixed. I've taken the unit apart and I haven't found any loose connections or wires, however the transducer will not work. Anyway, I'm trying to get it figured out for him..... If it were me I'd slap a nice Lowrance Charter / Finder in the boat and be ready to roll!

Thanks Keith..... I found that site, but they don't have the model listed that I am searching for.

Travis, I know this will sound ignorant but I talked to a friend of mine who works for Lowrance and he suggested that you should LIGHTLY sand the bottom of the transducer with 280 or 300 grit sandpaper.

Can't hurt....... it's not pinging at all. I'll give it a try.
