Mine some times does similar things.
Have you tried adjusting the gain settings?
Some times I gotta turn mine off and on for it to go back to reading correctly.

my fish hawk has given me the same issues since last fall. did you ever find out what was causing your issues?

thanks

I also have the same problems. Been thru the same with the nice people at Fishhawk, tried swapping out the head and xducer with my buddies. Nothing has worked.
I now believe it may be the transducer just blowing back out of the cone angle at times causing the unit to get confused. Ha, as well as myself! This may not be the cause but it's the only thing I have left to try.

If possible use, borrow someone’s working unit and try it on your boat.    If it works, it will eliminate your wiring, interference and power as the issue....

I had the same issue on my fishhawk 4 on Wednesday on Erie.  It would not read the speed at the ball anymore but had prior without issue.  I tried reading the manual online while out etc and could not figure out so I thought what had changed since last time?  I bought new riggers and had installed a scotty downrigger weight retriever on my new Cannons for when I extended the boom.  My boom was not extended so I removed the retrieval string from the rigger for the day so it was not in the way.  When I put my rigger weight down the small round piece that would have attached to the string had travelled down the wire rigger cable with my rigger. so I brought the rigger back up and attached the string and relowered my rigger while the retrieval ring stayed up.  Apparently it was enough to cause interference that the speed at the ball could not be read and I had no more issues with my fishhawk after that.

Your probe is probably not in the transducer radius.  It travels in and out of the radius. Tilt your transducer a little bit or use a heavier downrigger weight to keep the cannon ball within range.
