That sounds like the bottom of the transducer is either coated and needs to be cleaned, or it is just plain going out. Check it very carefully for cracks too. Even a tiny amount of water inside the unit causes big problems. The only other time I have had any problems like that with any BottomLine was because it was on the same battery as my ancient main motor and the non-resistor plugs were causing interference.
If all else fails, Bottom Line is very good about fixing even obsolete units at a very fair price. I have sent two to be repaired and both times it was $65 and they replaced anything and everything that even looked like it could use it. They completely rebuilt my fishing buddy for that price, and even updated the main board and features on an old 210TBL to the features found on the 4100 pro including a new transducer. They had the units back to me in less than a month too. They are in Meridian, Idaho.
Hope it helps. Good luck.
