My Nexus Classic knotlog is pushing 15 years. I don't leave it in the boat. Remove it and replace it with the plug if boat is going to sit for more than a few days.
I did, however, add stress relief to the cable entering the transducer after the original transducer died after 2-3 years. Nexus tech told me the shield and wires were subject to breakage due to the Lack of stress relief there. Garmin now sells the descendent systems from Nexus/NX2. Nice instruments. Dennis C.
