Transducer mounts

Do you remove your transducer before landing and do you install it after you launch?

I also have an X13 and will soon be relocating that transducer for my Elite 4. That 83-200Hz transducer is a lot smaller and fits really flush on the X Factor. No removing the transducer. It's on there all the time. I always have the unit not powered on when launching or landing through the surf. I lost a Elite 4 before when I rolled it on a landing at LJ and the unit was powered, kayak was upside down for about 5 minutes because I had a treble hook form an Iron stuck through my water shoe and trying to go into my foot everytime a wave would hit me in waist deep water. Had to walk it in to shallower water to reach my knife to cut the fishing line. I now always remove all lures and shut down the unit on landings.
