And having a spare transducer doesn't do you much good of course, until you can get the boat out of the water and change the thing. If you're out on the lake and need it, it doesn't do you much good. You'd almost have to "pre-install" the spare on the transom before your long trip, just to be on the safe side!

One thing that does scare me about these HDS 8 units I just ordered is the fact that both will depend upon the same transducer. Not much for redundancy, is it? Makes me a bit uncomfortable, but there really isn't much else to do--although having a spare 83/200 kHz unit wouldn't be the end of the world. The LSS-1 transducer is well over $200 though, so I likely won't be carrying a spare one around.
