guess you came across this thread on arduino board:
Depth Ultrasonic Water Transducer
some specs are there, guess you ignore the issue on how you pump all that 600 or so W to the xducer and only focus on dealing with the return signal, which is going to be interesting if the pulse originates from the headunit (as it should be I gather) and then the headunit does the timekeeping and the calcs to see how long it takes for the signal to return.
Doesn't look v.straightforward tbh as you somehow have to grab the high pulse, start a timer, receive the return pulse, get the diff.
The rest is easy
seems to be exceptionally hard (at least for my knowledge!)
Mind, could it be that the headunit failing to send the 600W pulse be the culprit?
Maybe open the headunit up and see how it looks inside? corrosion/water ingress/tired or damaged components, failing capacitors?
goodluck!
