What is best glue or sealer, to use to put a transducer in? For through the hull, mounted inside boat.


Thank You David C Sr.

My Lowrance said to use quick setting (5 min) epoxy. That's what I did last summer and it has been OK.


Also had to sand the area a little with sand paper and then wipe it off with alcohol, and then sit and press on the transducer for 5, while it set.

30 minute epoxy works the best. The additional time allows for the bubbles to come to the surface before it hardens

Yep, the longer the curing time the better. I have had good luck using a piece of cardboard curved into the shape of a cylinder. I set it against the glass and fill with epoxy (this creates a nice thick "bed"). After a few minutes when the epoxy starts to thicken I press the transducer down into the epoxy.

Has worked great so far.

I agree slow cure Epoxy. Bubbles are not wanted so mix slow. The slow cure allows the air bubbles to get out.
