Worked fine in Oceanside Harbor. The reason I went this route is convenience. Did not want to try and install my 50/200 BIG transducer via putty, goop, container with water, etc. I transport my yak upside down on my car so above mounting techniques were a concern. Need to test in the surf to determine whether to attach transducer to the mounting system before or after launch/landing. Probably will be determined by size of surf. When attaching my heavy transducer, magnets slipped a bit on the smooth surface of my yak. Manufacturer is shipping me some rubber pads that should take care of any slipping.

I bet you could goop the inner magnet in so you can easily pop the transducer into place after a surf launch.

No need to goop as the magnets are attached before launch/land. The only item to be attached before or after is the arm that the transducer is attached to. Not a big deal......just do not drop the screw into the water when attaching. Might be a good idea to get a spare just in case.
