Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge - View Single Post - Is Epoxy better than Goop for transducer mount?

Heres a couple of pics of the transducer Gooped down. I located it between the sailing mast, and the drive well (Hobie Adventure). I figure this area would be fairly stiff. I roughened up the surface with 80 grit aluminum oxide paper, then cleaned it with alcohol.

I was careful to flow the Goop so as not to create any bubbles. Then I placed the puck down in one motion from left to right. I leveled the boat with a pool noodle wedge, and it has stayed put for 3 hours so far.

*Note the "drive well strengthening kit" to the rear of the puck. Its a Hobie thing.

I'll know more next week.
