adhesion of a transducer
I have a transducer for my depth Gage and it has broken free from the bottom of the boat. what cement or glue is needed to fasten it? I would imagine that you cannot use just anything off the shelf?

I always use just plain silicone goop. Works great, and is removeable if you change units. My old cruiser has half a dozen old 'ducers epoxied to it's bottom, with the cable clipped...
Just use lots of it, and make sure you have no bubbles...

The two part is good.
What some people are getting at is that you don't want the fast set.
You want like a 30 minute epoxy.
This lets the bubbles out. The bubbles ruin the shoot-through.
Good luck.

I would think that silicone would affect the accuracy. I'd go with something that isn't compressible.
A buddy of mine removes his transducers using Spiderwire fishing line. Just saw it back and forth while pulling under the 'ducer.
