I've heard this is bad time and time again. Is it hard on the transducer or not?
i dont guess Ive ever read anything about it in manual.
lots of times I pull TM up to run few miles away and dont
power off unit I just leave it running.
Few times in my life forgot and left unit on all night
on trailer.
I have had one or two go bad over years but not sure that was the cause.
Looks like if it was true there would be manys cautions on the unit and in the manual.
