It was to tight I guess and something might have hit it while running. Broke the neck part.. the round teeth cylinder was still on the bracket. And the transducer was hanging by the wire

If they are installed properly they will just fold up if you hit something.

Default Replacement transducer
Amazon has several and might have the right one. You should be able to get one in 4 or 5 days. Gander mountain carries transducers give them a call. If the transducer takes a side hit it will break off. I have had several break off on spring mounted setups.

No I have a step, it was installed at the water line there. I think I was to tight and could pop up.

Mine went out over the supper and I replaced it with a in hull transducer.
I went with the airmar P79
I find this is a much better transducer than I had before.

I dont like the fact that you have to cut a hole in the bottom😨 for the inhull kind.

You don'd have to cut a hole in the boat.
You glue the base to the boat and fill it with liquid, put the transducer in the liquid and adjust the transducer to match the dead rise of your hull. The theory is the sound waves travel better through liquid. I think this transducer workes better than the factory transducer.
