During my last sail the meter was only showing five feet so I flicked

I cut off the power the arrow returns to its resting place below the
zero.

Anyone have any idea how to correct this so that the arrow will remain
where it is suppose to when the power is cut on?

Change the transducer - the crystal is cracked.
