Re: transducer mount

I've found Sikaflex 291 works quite well on polyethylene. I first clean the surface with acetone, then rough up the surface of the hull with 60grit sandpaper. If you use enough sealant in a large enough "dollop" push the transducer into it slowly while rocking gently, making sure it stays ...

Not too shabby for 4.8m and weighing 27-28Kg's
