Transducer install Epoxy vs Pool Noodle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

soaking the adhesive container in a tub of hot water helps a lot with the losing air bubbles. just make sure to dam the area as goop will flow more when it is hot.

dont use 5200. you are asking for trouble there.

My Tx install record:
Marine Goop = 6 successfull installs
5200 = 1 not so successfull install (got no readings) do not use!
Pool noodle wet well = 1 successful install (my current set up) Love it!

for depths up to 150' goop is fine...
if you want to see the hard bottom at 240', go with the wet well...

I've had better luck with the pool noodle wet well. No issues with bubbles and you can remove the transducer easily.
