Sonar only reading the surface
First, ensure that the transducer face is pointing down when the boat is level in flat water. You may want to do this step like a tv antenna, adjusting the angle of the transducer while watching the screen.
If that doesn't work, then try moving the transducer further into the water and repeat step one.
Sonar systems are (largely) directional, and will work best when parallel with the seabed (or lake bed etc)

My Structure Scan display is
verify cable harness integrity at base connection of transducer , replace cable or check settings easy fix would be change display unit if unit under warranty as replacing transducer is not easy and economical
I have a bass tracker
check to make sure your gain is adjusted properly, auto is usually best, units will vary
Doesn't work on fast flowing river
Many depth finders don't work when the transducer sees a little turbulence. My only suggestion is to try different locations for the transducer, trying to guess where there will be the least turbulence beneath it. This is easy if your transducer is mounted inside the hull and reads through the hull. Not so easy if it is a through-hull mount. Be sure it is mounted correctly to the hull if it is mounted inside the hull. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

Removed the unit while boat was being worked on,
Sorry, no answer for you 19 days later, but I wonder how many others have read this and wondered what part of "the unit" actually is that's not working???
Really, providing some more details may help get a few suggestions at least if there is anything to add, and have you tried contacting the manufacturer???.

Hello Keneth,
Is The transducer In Side the Hull Or Mounted On The Transom?
If Inside Remove It And Re Fit It Using Epoxy Glue Ensuring No Air Pocket Between transducer And Hull.
If transom Mounted Replace Transducer.
Hope this Helps

Chances are your GPS puck antenna is bad. They have a pretty bad rep for failing and since its now at least 5 years old , you have been on borrowed time. You can get replacements on Ebay. Your temp issue is unrelated . Might be time to upgrade.
