Could be a film or other obstruction stuck to the face of the xducer...
Could be the xducer not pointing straight down...
Could be the xducer gone bad...

Is your xducer setup transom or TM...??
Does it still show 59.9 in 10ft of water...??...20ft of water...??

Try wiggling the connection...
Try setting the unit into manual with a depth range of 0-100...
Try setting the "Show Digital Display" (under the Chart Setup) to "NO" ..then back to "SM" or "LG"

Is it just the Digital display...??
Does the bottom show on the screen at the correct depth range (the vertical scale on the right of the screen)...??
