They come with a 2 year warranty, but you just about have to take them to court to get them to honor it. Anybody using one right now, I would suggest that you goop the wire to connector connection. It is a bummer, because the transducer provides a sleek, solid uninterrupted water connection.

Good to know. I recently got one of these transducers and have not installed it yet. Will goop it to keep it water tight and from slipping.
