Sounds like your transducer isn’t mounted right. The X on that unit means no gps so no speed. Most speedos aren’t that accurate anyways so gps is way more accurate.

A Lowrance Elite Ti 5 or 7 are great units. Come with a $400 TotalScan transducer and gives you 4 frequencies. 83/200 for regular 2d and 455/800 for structure scan. You’ll get both down and side imaging, a touch screen, great mapping and a responsible piece on the units.

I run Carbons on mine and fish Cold Lake a lot after tournament season ends and I get bottom marking in 200’ of water doing 40mph. It’s all about the mount job.

PM me if you want my number or email and send me a few pictures from behind your boat and from the side and I’ll tell you how it’s mounted.
