Malibu X-13 Options

[keljad]

thanks again doug for your help. So 3M marine goop is simialr to sikflex?? I thought it must be something very different which sets harder. To date I have used selly's all clear for the fixture of transducers and the like without incident, but if you guys reccomend 3M or sikaflex, then i will give it a go on the next fitting.

Thanks again

I only use 3M 5200 on major hull penetrations, such of the thru-hulls for my bait tank intake and outlet. I prefer Marine Goop (similar to Selly's All Clear) for all other applications. 5200 is a mess and I can't seem to use it without getting the crap all over my yak and myself. Maybe that's just my problemlol Marine Goop is much easier to work with and it cleans up better.

i will need something suitable for major hull penetrations eventually. i am just trying to build up the nerve to slice holes in the bottom of my kayak.

i have another xfactor ordered, and this one will be getting the royal treatment and a water intake for a live tank.

not sure if i will put one in the x13 yet or just keep it as my bass boat

Here's my ducer and box that holds the battery. For the decals, I sanded it down, used alcohol, put the decal down and used a mini-torch to heat it up (careful not to burn) before peeling the paper off, then I used this marine/uv protectant satin gloss spray can stuff made by cobalt? I tried a few other types of stuff and either it didn't work at all or they krinkled up the sticker.

thanks for that grego. I was looking at placing the transducer out on the wings as you have done, but wasny sure how it would go.

Nice battery box also..........I am presuming the 7a/h battery is lying on its side inside??? Does this damage the battery??
