Left my depth finder on over night. When I came back it was pegged at one fifty. What can I do to fix it?

Sort of like when I would call the IT guys at work. They always asked "Did you turn it off and back on?"
Do you have a manual or find one on line? It may have programmed a keel offset itself or it needs a reset. Hard to tell without documentation.

Hard to see why leaving it on should bother it. I would check to see if you have low voltage from running down the battery. Electronics do funny things when they don't get enough juice. I had some electric company guys screw up the wires coming into my house once, everything read 120V but nothing would run, they had clamped a wire partly over insulation on the wire to the street. It had voltage but couldn't carry any amperage. Blew my furnace relay, and refrigerator. I've had a depth sounder on continuously for several day without problem so that alone shouldn't hurt it.
A little over 12 volts is a fairly low state of charge. What's the voltage at the depth finder?
Didn't check it there but will. Also, I put two new batteries in but they both failed to register normal on the panel. Will recharge both and then see what they read.
Where is a good place to buy a used maintain?
