When I got my Garmin EchoMap Chirp 70, I was also concerned with the transducer length. In my opinion, it seems like the transducer (and CHIRP frequency) that comes with it was really meant for deeper water than I fish (100 feet max). I elected to get the lake version with the different, shorter transducer and get a coastal Blue Chart card. It worked out pretty close in price. It works fine. I typically fish the back bays of NJ (up to 3 feet) and sometime the local reefs (about 80 feet max).
