Just pour in an ounce of water and put the puck in. It fits snug and tight and no bubbles because of the grooves. Crytal clear signal and maintenance free.

Thanks Dan.
Can you post a photo please?

I've been using the water/pool noodle setup for about six months, has
worked great for me also. Just add water and your in business!!!

Thanks all for the photo and details. I'm just in the process of hooking up a new ff and had never heard of the water pocket before.

Just a quick question..........

What exactly does it look like if you were to get bubbles in the marine goop ??
or, is it more like you will miss fish signals ??

In my experiences, it can't find the bottom. It jumps back and forth from showing something ridiculously deep to really shallow. Complete malfunction.
