My transducer and cable received some trauma a while back and ever since, will do something similar from time to time. What I do to fix it is to manually set the depth at 5ft when in 5feet or less or 10ft if in10ft or less, and it’ll go away, then I change it back to auto depth.

Upgrading your units simply because your transducer failed is like buying a new car because your tires are old. Compare another transducer, just plug it in and drop it over the side. If it has the same problem, you probably have interference and it likely won’t go away with new units.

It’s an indication that something is going on. If you can't find em wind em.
