Hodges Marine has the Garmin GST 43 mm transducer for $122. The number on my spare is 010-04283-00.
If you replace it, be sure and add stress relief to the cable where it exits the transducer. Slide a couple 2” pieces of heat shrink down the cable, shrink them then pour epoxy in the top of the transducer around the cable. Dennis C.
