My transducer on my LX-5 has a brown spot on it does this matter. When I shake it it rattles. I ask this because sometimes it just seems a little off.
Most transducers will rattle if you shake them. The internal weighting is comprised of BB’s. If you shake it… most will “rattle” when the BB’s move around slightly. Some transducers won’t make any noise at all or the noise will be barely audible.
Discoloration on the ‘ducer is not a concern as long as the discoloration is superficial. If you have a piece of transducer cup foam adhered to the bottom of the transducer, this is an issue. But simple surface discoloration is not.
But none of this means your transducer is working as expected. Are you having any specific issues that lead you to believe something is wrong with your transducer?
