Sorry, I don't undestand the question. You have an Eagle Fishmark 320 and you put an Eagle 500c on what?

i change the screen from a portable 320 to a portable 500c color screen but still using the portable battery case to run power ice fishing and when iam up north fishing

I do the same thing, but with an x-97/500c.

 

Sounds like your transducer is messed up. Switch them and see what happens.

 

I've had a new one for mine on order for 3 weeks now, still waiting.

went to lowerance to day they checked out fish finder and told me it was apower issue then they sold me a new transducer seemed to be working better, its funny with it being power i had just tested batteries and they were 11.86volts lots of power . going to hook up in fish tank and see how it goes.

I'm going to lowrance tomorrow. I'm sick of waiting for a new transducer. Its been 3 weeks!! How much did they charge you?

80 plus tax, it seems to be working in fish tank i had to move the batteries in pack to turn on then it s working iam going to keep trying it every couple of hrs, take your parts with you so they can test them right there

Thanks, will do.

 

I'm not sure I'd trust readings from a fish tank. I know mine doesn't mark right until I'm 3-4 ft deep.

 

All I get is surface clutter.

 

What are you using for a battery?
