nice! it has been a few years now, so how is it holding up? have you had to do any touch ups since then?
have you also been reluctant to upgrade your sonar unit or would you do it again?
just curious, thanks.

No issues whatsoever. The 5200 cured/dried to be semi-flexible, like caulk. I would absolutely do it again, unless the kayak already had accomodations for the ducer being in the water, like the Tridents. The sonar unit I have has everything I need. If I'm going to drop the $ on a hi-end sonar then I'll probably be updating the ride as well.

I was having the same problem when I had mine mounted with 5200...so I ripped it out and re-bedded it with marine goop, problem solved.
