I did have a wet mount, but have since removed the contraption. I went back to the goop (to me, no difference in quality of images). The seal between the PVC and hull started to leak. Also, the front storage in the Revo is limited anyway, and you have to use a 4 in. PVC/cap if you go with a Lowrance FF. Just took up too much room and you always had to be diligent when stowing gear in the hatch.

If you are concerned about the space the wet mount takes up or possible leakage issues, (these can be easily overcome), you may want to check out the thread on the Grease Mount.

I have not spent any time around a PA but with all that space, I am sure there are plenty of good places to install the tranducer.
From my experience, Goop will work fine, until it doesn't. The problem is that the Goop goes bad slowly so you probably will not know that it is degrading. With the ease of installing and removing both the wet and grease mounts, it seems to me that one of those would be a better long term choice. Bob |

Amount of Water
How much water does the transducer have to sit in? Does Ultrasound gel work?

I have noticed a slightly better image compared to goop. My depth with goop seemed to be inconsistant (ex. 100 feet deep then all the sudden 190 feet, then back) . The wet mount has been better.

I placed the wet mount to the left of the center hatch. I wanted to put it in a place that would not get stressed or hit. So far it's great. Steve |

I have used this on my Prowler 13 for about 4 years, with 2 different sonar/gps units. Works great for me. I use mineral oil in the PVC to cut down on bubbles and/or algae. The only drawback I see with it is that the temp sensor tends to give me the ambient temp inside the hull, rather than water temp.

Anyone thought of trying these waterproof electrical boxes? Seem like a good way to go. Cut the bottom out and glue down like the pipe fitting. Screw down waterproof lid would make a good seal. My Lowrance transducer is pretty long and definitely wouldn't fit in any pipe smaller than 5". You can just chose the size you want that fits best with these.

Something like this?
When after two or three years it sprung a leak in the back where it was hard to get to, I decided to convert it to a putty mount. It works better than the wet well. The piece of pool noodle and cover keep the transducer pressed into place. |
