The 505 is the same as the Land Star but is lacking manual ground balance. Apparently the water or lake bottom is too conductive or mineralized enough to upset the 505. I'd presume if the units are otherwise the same, the gb is set internally to some more neutral position that's inadequate to deal with the water. How was it out of water, but still in the wet sand?
Unless that particular coil leaked some, but you might have noticed that if it was misbehaving on land afterwards. Swapping coils with your unit would eliminate that question.
