Wondering for recommendations where to buy a transducer for a Lowrance Elite 5 dsi?

Found this one on Amazon. Is $77 a good price?

http://www.amazon.com/Lowrance-000-10260-001-800KHz-Transom-Transducer/dp/B004OT7YES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395096150&sr=8-1&keywords=Lowrance+transom+transducer+000-10260-001

Also, would you happen to know how long the pontoon is to run the line?

We don't have the boat yet but it'd be for a 22 SFX tri-toon. We want to DIY (install RAM mount & run transducer) as we're planning on switching the locator back and forth between the pontoon and a different fishing boat. The transducer on Amazon comes with a 20' cable, thinking that's a little short?There is a 15' extention available to buy.

Any other installation tips/tricks would be appreciated. We're handy & mechanical, just never had a pontoon before : )

Do you have a favorite store (online or national chain) that you like to shop for parts or extra things for your pontoon?

Thanks!

20 ft should be plenty long.
