How Long Does You Transducer Last?

[AlK]

I fried an HB transducer by using the unit out of water.

Mine had 80/200..........used on 200 til the water gets to 300ft and then it won't read so I switch to 80 for deep water. That used to be o.k..........but now on 80 it reads totally erroneous and if I switch back to 200 it acts up then as well.....so I'm off to Westmarine in Nan right now to get a better unit.......

Im replacing my transducer for my Lowrance HD the end of last season stopped reading bottom when I was running also took awhile to read bottom once I stopped to fish. Checked it out and has a small crack in it. So I am just replacing it see what happens. Hopefully thats the issue..

Mine generally last a long time until they break off on something, I have had one that was 20 + years old that came with a boat, and it was fine.
