Try jiggling the transducer plug where it goes into the unit. Maybe try some contact cleaner too. Cheap and easy first trouble shooting.

Transducer could still be bad, they are a common failure item.

If you can't get a new transducer I say junk it.

Yep, some transducers cost as much as the whole unit does.
