Good to know PJ!  In the link you provided in your note, there was a picture of a yellow or orange (?) thing.... was that the transducer?  prouboy

The yellow thing is the smart cast wireless transducer.  I've never used it.  I use the suction cup mount transducer and have it mounted to shoot through the hull of the canoe.  If you can get 2 years out of a transducer you're doing pretty well.  They do not last forever and will be the first thing to wear down on your (or anyone elses) locator.
