    778 HD?

    Unit started show depths of 600-900 ft in 2 feet of water? Do I need to adjust something, do I need a new transducer or upgrade to a new unit?

    Do a Restore Defaults to get rid of any settings you may have done to limit its ability to perform deep or shallow with no adjustments.

    I did the restore defaults and I get the same results. Reading 900+ in 3 feet of water. What should I try next?
