I really don't know how it this time. I noticed about a week ago that the neck of the transducer was cracked. I don't know when or how it got cracked but it was cracked. I had a bad case of head up rear and went fishing without fixing it and at some some point it snapped in half. I have tried the epoxy before but i don't think I did it right. I will have to try again with the advice I have been given from yall. And, yeah I do need to try to stay off the stumps and logs but stuff happens:D
