My new Elite 4x has started shifting to a depth of 2.8 to 3.1 feet when I know I am in much deeper water. Occurs mostly after operation at higher speed of the pontoon boat. It eventually shifts back to giving correct info, but does so at its own time. Powering down the unit and also restoring defaults has not help. Is it busted or is there something I can do to fix it?

This is something that I've seen happen on several Elite 4 units. A friend had this happen on his pontoon boat, exchanged the transducer under warranty and it did the same thing. Moved the unit to his jet boat and it worked perfectly. We never looked into the problem after that.

Does this happen at speed, fast or slow? how about stationary? Perhaps the transducer shifted in the mounts? Also, you can try a isolate the power input for the unit, you may be getting interference from the ignition system.
