That sucks looks like the guy u bought it off of was to lazy to find the right screws...you can goop the inside and outside and ever season check and reply if needed...or you can take it off and patch the area from the inside with a plastic welder and then put the right screws in the recessed nuts...the second way would be the best way but more labor intensive

Yeah I definitely don't want to sink. What kind of goop would be the best? I want to also reseal the livewell pump.

Thanks all

First off (this is just my opinion) I would take my kayak to OEX SSB (the nearest to me and familiar with Andy's work ) and while there also check with him get his input or just have him change the transducer around and mount on the inside for a "wet mount" and seal the holes.
If I decided to leave it on the bottom, I might think about replacing the screws with bolts & well nuts for break away purposes in case it catches on rocks or other obstacles while launching/landing.
Or you could leave it on the outside and worry about tearing off the transducer or damaging it or (cracking) your kayak if your transducer hits something while launching/landing or just cruising around, also worrying about having a fish dive under your kayak and wrapping around it.
Just my .02

I would goop it up.

Should be pretty flat and be really hard for it to catch.

Couple buddies with the same set up.

Switching the screws to nuts and bolts would not be hard get some marine goop and you should be good.
