Default Marcum LX-3 problem

Fished half a day with no issues and all of a sudden the reading for the bottom, jig, fish, everything would move up and down 2-3' and the machine would sound like it was "bogged" down. I thought maybe the battery was bad and i pulled the one out of my lowrance ice machine to check and same problem with a full charge battery. Can anybody shed some light on this???

My 4yr old unit did the same thing. Sent it back to Marcum, got it back with a new motor and transducer. NO CHARGE! Great customer service! While it was in the shop, only 4 days, I bought a LX7. Wow, what a great unit.

X2. Had the same thing go wrong with my 1 yr. old LX3 (2011). Quick service, motor replaced.
And then some transistor(?) went bad the following year - again, quick service. Still working out bugs? Other than reliability issues, I like it +

I had the same problem this year. Had it for a week and wouldn't hold consistent bottom and the zoom wouldn't work. I returned it for refund and got a vex Fl 18.
