I need some opinions. I broke the transducer off of the bottom of my old TM. I have priced a replacement and they run about $60-$65.

I originally paid $80 for the entire fishfinder(Eagle Cuda 128)

Would you all buy a new transducer,as the head unit works fine,or would you all just buy another,better fishfinder.

Seems replacement parts for this particular fishfinder arent readily available and some searching is required. They just dont show up on Ebay a whole lot either. Bass Pro and Cabelas doesnt even list this model anymore.

What does the consensus say? Do I spend $65 on a new transducer which would make this fish finder almost a $150 investment,or do I just spend $150 and get a better fishfinder with more features?

new fishfinder. Look at the Humminbird 565 best fish finder for the money. They also have a 535 and 525 that are very good for the money. I have a 565 on my boat and a 535 portable that I use on my jon boat.

Get another, better unit..............Humminbird  

A cheaper and more solid suggestion. Get one of these and just use the transducer you have if the bracket is the only thing broken and the wire is intact:
