If you have good pressure on the hot water in the head, then it must be in the hot water line to the galley or the hot water tubing on the faucet itself. Try disconnecting the line under the sink and checking for any blockage in the line by turning on the water pressure with the end of the supply line in a bucket to catch the spray.

My death finder is very slow to read. When in port and connected to shower power after being ion for 30 minutes it starts to read. When I turn off shower power it stoops reading. At channel depth it reads only 8.5, never more.
I have cleaned and reset in the cup to no avail. Any thoughts ?

Another Fluid Motion owner in Indianapolis! If you private message me with you phone number we can talk. I have a spare new replacement transducer that you can borrow to see if that is your issue. Todd

Hi imiller,
Brad is right. There is most likely blockage at the hot water line to the galley faucet. Check to make sure the hot water line is clear at the faucet and then trace back from there. For the transducer, make sure that the cup is filled with the proper fluid. (any type of RV antifreeze will do) If the cup is not filled with fluid, this will cause issues similar to what you are experiencing. Make sure that the sealant at the bottom of the cup is not allowing fluid to leak. If so, you can simply add a bead of sealant inside the bottom perimeter of the cup. Hope this helps.
