I've had success scraping it off with a razor blade.

Just went through this myself. In scraping the old stuff I cut a couple tiny pieces of plastic off the bottom of the transducer. Does it matter or is the plastic just a cover for the sensor inside?

Acetone!

Lawnmower.

I know its hard but cant you pull it off?

MEK will take it off. But it will also eat the transducer if you soak it too long in the MEK.

MEK is also HARD to find with the new VOC laws in CA. I have to go to AZ for my favorite wood finish because of the new restrictions.
