thanks for the offer but i think i'll pick some up at the local store if available.

I just bought a can of Marine Grease from Pep Boys. It seems to work fine as a medium and does not melt even when it get to 150 degrees inside the kayak.

After you try this setup, please post any observations regarding how the foam holds up to exposure to the grease.

I've used a version of the grease setup in boats, It works very well. I've even heard of guys useing hydrolic oil.

Bob, take a look at these pics please.

This pipe should probably work fine providing you can get a good seal to the hull and find a cap that will seal. The rubber will flex to confirm to some moderate hull contours but not to something major.

I do like the idea of using a flexible well which should absorb some of the shock and flexing that the hull goes through.

I certainly hope so.......this stuff is fun.......but only to a point. Afterall, there is more to fishing right???? I'm going to try and shape the bottom to fit the countour of the hull a little bit better. If it doesn' work, then I've thrown out $6.00.......not the worst thing certainly.

I just used marine putty and silicone sealant to setup my wet mount, I'll know in the morning if it worked

if you have a revo, this is how you mount the transducer....very simple, no goop...I've had a few different types of transducers mounted this way in a couple different boats....works great everytime!!

see post 68.....do it and don't look back.
