hahaha.. glad you caught it! Gotta check those screws every now and then.
I obviously posted about the time that one fell off...
... but another time we had a club tournament. We blasted off, and I was following another 20 or so boats out of the creek, running wide open. There was a small floating log I couldn't see and I ran right over it. It hit my transom-mounted transducer perfectly and knocked it off the transom. It was just flapping in the water. It was the only transducer I had and I had to fish the whole day with no transducer - no depth/sonar/etc. That was aggravating! We grow so used to these things... we feel lost when they're suddenly gone!
I'm planning the mounts for my next boat and going to make sure everything is done RIGHT (probably going with Transducer Shield and Saver on the jack plate).
