Trouble With Transducer - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Flyfisher70 · 06-12-2011, 08:10 AM

Pulled the transducer off, well first I tried to pull it off but that was not happening. I ended up going to the kitchen and getting a butter knife and started to work it under the goop, marine goop sure is strong. Anyhow I was able to get the transducer off. BTW it's a new transducer, the fish finder is old but still works. The transducer was working up until I installed it with the goop inside the kayak hull.

Here is what it looked like after I took it off the kayak hull.

I see a huge bubble on the right side of the goop, I'm wondering if this might have been the cause. I tested the transducer again and it still works, it definitely has something to do with my install.

I cut out the goop so that you guys could take a look at the huge bubble that was on the right side of the transducer.

Yup, there was definitely a slight angle to the transducer. I'm going to have to go back and re-install or just take it down to OEX and have Andy install it correctly.

Any other feed back would be much appreciated.

Thank you much guys!
