Raymarine Axiom issues

I am having issues with it not being able to keep a lock on the bottom at speed. The transducer (much larger than the one for the E7) is located exactly where the last one was. I noticed at speed the transducer (transom mount on the starboard side of the outboard) is barely in the water. It looks like I could lower it another inch or so but not sure that would make any difference. Anyone else have this issue and was able to find a solution? Thanks in advance!

Remember to reseal the screws with marine sealant (not adhesive) like Life Caulk. Report back. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

I wonder if the "3 D" transducer isn't as reliable as my old E7 transducer when it comes to a boat that is barely in the water while at speed like mine is.
