I don't know about the rest of you that have the removable transducers for depth and speed, but the stainless split rings they put on the heads of these things are cheap a$$ items that end up stretching and bending over time. Mine got so bad they would just pull off when trying to remove a transducer/speed wheel to clean it.
I found some 316 stainless split rings that are a little over 2" in diameter and are much better quality than the original ones. I got them from McMaster-Carr but their website is undergoing maintenance right now so I can't get to my order history... I'll post it later.
Here's a shot of the old ring removed and the new ring installed on one of the transducer plugs...
These things are like $10 for a pack of 5.... well worth the price.
If you don't have removable transducers, you probably think you wasted your time reading this thread. However, I think you could use them as nose or nipple rings as well.
