I have 2 Cuda 300's and a 250s in three different yaks and they work great. The oldest is about 5 years old. How and where you mount the transducers is important. You mention yours cuts out when its rough. I am guessing you mounted the transducer too far forward in turbulent or unclean water and it is getting an intermittent return signal causing it to cutout. Mine are all mounted behind the seat inside a piece of 4 inch pvc pipe, imbedded in Lexel caulk. The piece of pipe is mainly for protection so the xducer isn't disturbed. It is attached to the hull with Marine Goop. As an engineer who used to work for a company that made depthsounders I learned that most problems are caused by improper xducer mounting or electromagnetic interference from motors, etc. and not usually the fault of the units themselves. Corrosion on the connectors is also a big issue.
