 It is a worry when you have a couple of grands worth hanging off the back. 

Like all theft you will Never stop it happening - just reduce the risk. Keep boat in secured areaand point security cameras at it.

Did they cut the wires? Pain in the ass (for them) to rewire so close to the transducer

ive tried to reduce the risk by putting it into a secure storage facility, but you cant stop ppl from coming in and out of there.

 

looks like they did cut the wires and just snapped it off the hinge - very annoying.
