Tou need a high speed transducer. Most standard ones are only good up to about 7 or 8 miles an hour.

If you have a transducer mounted on the outside of the transom, it may be coming out of the water at any speed above idle speed. If that is the case simply loosen the bracket and slide the transducer down just a little. This type of transducer has to be in contact with the surface of the water or you will get crazy readings. If you need help with it just let me know.

We had that problem in our 520 ranger we had to keep moving the transducer around till it would read right at high speeds ( or at least as fast as a ranger will run)

Mine does it sometimes mostleyin rough water. If you epoxy it in the sump inside your boat at the lowest spot it will help greatly. Hopethis helps.
