Hi Steve. I run 520s so I can't help much with the GPS issue. Is there anything blocking the units ability to get a good signal? I was running into a similar problem on a trip a couple of weeks ago when I realized I had a bunch of rods laying across the puck. Can you hook up an external puck to that unit to test if it holds a signal with that?

As far as the transducer goes. Do you have the latest software update on it? There is a shallow water mode on that update to help with the losing bottom issue. I updated the software a few years ago and I can read bottom in the middle of thick milfoil. I thick there was a video with Josh at Thornes going through the settings changes for this. I'll see if I can find the link.

Edit:
See if this helps...
