Yes, unless you buy the ice bundle. The higher end Garmin ice transducers run $160-180 new, almost as much as I paid for the unit and carrying case. Garmin must have gotten wise and are selling a cheaper transducer, Garicexd dual beam, for about $80. I picked one up and because of no ice I tried it off a handicapped fishing pier. It seemed to work okay, better than trying to Jimmy the open water one to hang right.
