Please forgive the silly question but why do you need the pool noodle for the transducer? 
Hey Bob.  If you're still wondering, it's for the mounting approach where you
--cut a puck from the noodle (or yoga block, or whatever)
--cut a transducer-shaped hole thru the puck
--glue the puck down inside your hull
when you're out fishing,
--fill the hole with some water
--insert the transducer

There are variations.  Search the forums for more info.

Thanks Fish Elvis!  I have never heard or seen anyone doing that before.  (But then again, I don't spend much time looking in other kayakers hulls!  j/k :smt044)
Sounds like a good idea if you are removing the transducer from kayak to another kayak or something.  Other than that, I'm not sure why.
Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction though.  :smt001

Sports Authority has the large pool noodles (Sunnyvale Store).  I bought a bunch of the smaller diameter ones at Dollar Tree Union City for $1.10 each yesterday and stuffed the inside of Kayak as its life vest.  You can buy every imaginable type of foam, even scraps for a few dollars at Bob's Foam Factory in Fremont.
