Brian, First, replacements are readily available. Look for the 43 mm transducer. If you can’t find one, contact me and I’ll find you one.
Second, I leave mine out unless I’m sailing. Third, I spray mine with Corrosion Block. Probably doesn’t stay on long but it makes me feel like I did something. Any lightweight oil should work.
