gooping a transducer
I gooped down the ducer inside my hull. Haven't water tested it yet but the excess goop around the ducer has a million bubbles in it. I pushed the ducer down as flush with the hull asi could. It was a very hot day when I did the job which could be the cause of the bubbles. Is that normal? Do you think the goop between the ducer and hull is tainted too? I hate this means of mounting but after the last 2 spills I wanted something a little more sturdy so my ducer didn't get banged around

Did you rock it from side to side to get the bubbles out?

Next time try using electrical (or plumbers) putty. Extremely easy to use, no bubbles to worry about. If you don't like the location or want to move your transducer, removal takes about 10 seconds. Just flatten out, insert transducer, and squish excess around the ducer to hold it in place. Have never had it come loose.

Try it on the water before you rip it out. A few tiny bubbles might not be noticeable.

You used a layer of putty under the transducer correct?
