GOOP vs 3M 5200 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 03-02-2010, 06:25 AM

Goop is easiest, I use the same FF/GPS in boat, and kayak, and get similar readings. (boat puck is transom mount in water)

I just scraped my puck off my kayak last night to install in a different kayak. It looks like this, and I still got accurate water temps, depth, bait balls, and unmistakable YT arcs. FWIW, this puck had been in my kayak 9 months.

so i stopped by the home depot and found fast cure 3m 5200. i bought a 3 oz. tube for 7 bucks and pulled the trigger. i had the contour of the wet mount very close to the shape of the hull so there were very small gaps to fill. all your posts helped....THANKS....gloves are key (never touch this stuff with out them)! looks good so far.

how long should i wait? applied tuesday 6:30 p.m.

took the kayak walleye fishing today. max depth of the lake i hit today was 25 feet. the wet mount work very well. no leaks, awesome readings (i know ya'll fish much deeper), could track a small jig, and the temp came around after awhile too. i would love to show pics of walleye......but got skunked. started the morning at 35 degrees and got to 52sih. had a blast though! the 135 ride is perfect for me. just wanted to say thanx for all the friendly info. and advice.26567_1323279236645_1070774770_979156_372908_n.jpg
