howdy all
when I was out yesterday my lowrance elite 5 kept going out on shallow water, I was out in 30 m of water but half a dozen times it just went to shallow water and alarm came on to say so, I tried restarting every time but it would still come up as shallow water any thoughts as to why or what I should be looking at doing unit is 3 years old so out of warranty.
