In my case, my transmitters are installed on my rebreather diluent & Oxygen first stages. They are on 6" hoses, but tucked safely away with my other hoses & nestled next to my CO2 Scrubber canister, for protection.

In my opinion, I think the transmitter need to be secured otherwise it is just as vulnerable to damage. So while one can avoid damage from someone picking the tank up the wrong way, we don't want to solve one problem and create another one. I appreciate the pictures.
I don't know what the solution is to securing it. I know I don't want to create another problem.
@wetb4igetinthewate Understood. I am going to try it myself the next time I go diving (few weeks).It really isn't vulnerable. I have it on a 6" hose on my doubles and single tank setups and it doesn't bounce around at all.

Plug and an spg in the save a dive kit might be prudent.Taking my perdix AI on a five day cattle boat tomorrow without a hose. I hope it survives!!!!
I'm bringing the spg, but that's because I just don't trust the transmitter 100% yet. I've only been on AI for about 20 dives.Plug and an spg in the save a dive kit might be prudent.
If I hand my rig up to the boat they will sometimes grab for it like it's a handle. I watch closely to keep them from doing that. It probably still happens because on my last trip I had a little leak that turned out to be the transmitter being loose. That probably occurred because it was used as a handle when I wasn't watching. I'll be getting a hose. I keep a plug and a wrench and an allen wrench in my SAD kit.
