There are MANY reasons not to use plastic below the waterline. You might
be able to make a case for the fiberglass-enhanced ones, but they're
really not that much less expensive in the long run. I definitely
wouldn't trust a PVC fitting underwater.

Then again, most transducers are some sort of plastic.... and I'm
nervous enough about mine that I inspect them each time I board and
leave the boat.
