Bottom line... Properly installed they will never be an issue, and the will outperform anything out there.

This was the reason for my post in this thread.

My Garmin 440s did not come with a transducer. Knowing that it would give the best performance possible, I decided to get the thru-hull.

And yes, the threaded style that I have is pretty fool-proof.

How do you like your 440s?

I just bought one off ebay a new 440s for $330 "new in box".

Here's the funny part. It was missing the transducer!!

So I contacted the seller and he credited me a 50 buck refund. What's funny is I already had bought a $150 buck airmar threaded thru-hull transducer (they make the Garmins and it's Garmin compatible) for fifty bucks off ebay.

So I got the unit brand new in the box for $330, with a threaded thru hull transducer...

The only disappointment for me is that it will not fit on any of my older yak setups for my 398C due to the fact they have a changed the connector for the cord.
