Default Raytheon L265 Fishfinder

I had a problem with my Raytheon L265 Fishfinder and sent it to the company
for repair. They performed the repair, tested it and said it was good as
new. I just took it out yesterday for the first time and it is not working
properly. Here are a few of the symptoms:

1) You see a normal screen with a school of fish and suddenly everything
disappears and comes back again on its own with a somewhat different screen.

2) I am sitting motionless in 30 feet of water and suddenly the screen goes
fluey and now I am sitting in 2.5 feet of water in the middle of a bay.

3) When I had it in the driveway I had the transducer submersed in a 5
gallon bucket of water and turned it on. I could hear the transducer
clicking to the speed of the chart movement on the display and it changed
tempo erraticly as the depth jumped all over the place.

Could I possibly just have a bad transducer at this point or is the
fishfinder kaput?

If anyone has experienced this problem and can shed some light on what I
should do please reply to me either here or email me at
.

Thanks in advance!
