Depth Finder Beeping 'BP' - Troubleshooting & Fixes

Question
I have a 2005 bennington with a 115hp merc. when i took it out today the depth finder started to beep and read bp what is this and how do i fix it? thx D

Answer
Dee,

There is probable some dirt on your sensor.  Follow the wire down from your depth finder to the end that is at the water.  Then clean the end with some soft scrub.  This may fix the problem for you.  If not it may be the sensor itself.

Best of luck
