Depth finder

My circa 2007ish Faria depth finder is dying a slow and painful death. Recently it has worked, then not worked. If it is shot, what should I replace it with? The sounder is drilled through the hull, so if I replace with the same style, I need one that is the same size hole, or bigger. I could go with the one that is mounted to the transom as an alternative. Has anyone replaced theirs and what did you replace it with?

@zaverin1 yes I get the --. So I just need to replace the transducer? Guessing that needs to be done out of the water?

I am back on my depth finder giving me a -- while underway but works while I am moving slowly or not at all. Do you think the transducer just needs to be replaced or the whole system? If its just the transducer anyone know where I can find it?
MUCH appreciated.

my ducer will flake out when in chop
next fall when on blocks clean it with denatured alcohol
water side of the ducer
you get junk and sometimes biotin paint on them causing them flame out
This is the transducer correct? At least a transom mounted one. I believe I have this on the back of my boat. It seems everything was mounted on back.

I need to do my drive trim gauge next. I am not sure where that issue lies either.

As I suspected, ducer was connected to the Garmin instead of the depth gauge. I fixed power problem to the Garmin and problem solved.
