That seems silly. I've never heard of that from any of the other vendors.

I've been following the various user reports on the latest generation of forward sonars, and so far the Garmin seems to be the best. It's really important to understand what they can and can't do, but in the context of their capabilities, the Garmin seems to work the best - or at least there are more people admitting they have one and saying they find it useful.

But removing a transducer if it's going to be in salt water for more than a week? Don't most of our boats live in salt water all the time? That sounds like a completely unworkable solution.
