Ice fishing Transducer question

[MACMAN]

I use a Lowrance elite 5 with the ice ducer hanging from the cable. I bet I’ve hole hopped 1,000+ times, no issues. When I move, it gets tossed in the sled. I don’t even scoop the hole out, just plunge the ducer down through the slush. I don’t abuse my stuff, but it gets used hard- maybe a little abuse, but it’s never stopped working. If I had to baby it, I’d look at something else. I found transducers never center up if you modify them. The ice ducer is always pointed straight down and I can see my jigs every time.
