In less than 2 years I've broken two Lowrance transducers. This is getting very frustrating and expensive. WTF? In my humble opinion this is a poor design to have something this long and unreinforced hanging off the back of the boat. The depthfinder is a Hook 9 TS purchased on 11/22/18 from Amazon, shipped directly from Lowrance for just under $1,000. Is this a warranty item or did I get taken? I've bought a lot of Lowrance products over the years and have been pretty loyal to the brand, this will likely be my last.
To whom should I address this issue?

Re: Yet another broken transducer
It really looks like the mounting attachment is much too small for the length of the unit. That long a transducer has a lot of leverage against it. Seems like they could supply a triangular bracket and some silicone, to reinforce the unit once it's installed and adjusted.

Not sure if you have enough of a flat surface on your boat for one of these.

Also not sure which model transducer you have so ensure this fits before buying.
Good luck

Re: Yet another broken transducer
looks like you ran over something and it popped up in back of your boat and hit it. You need one of these.https://www.transducershieldandsaver.co ... hot-plate/. Len
