[QUOTE="pletzy, post: 347120, member: 13263"] Got started on mounting my fish finder transducer to the transom. Ripped out and picked up a poly cutting board ($5) and some SS nuts/bolts ($7 :( ). Yes, Poly can be cut using a jigsaw - worked pretty well. I borrowed the idea from many on this site who popped 4 holes in the transom, rather than a bunch of permanent holes when trying to fix a transducer problem. Only thing is I mounted it upside down, the rounded edges were supposed to be at the top. Oh well, nobody will notice when it's underwater. I stuck it on using 5200 and ran a bead around the edge.[ATTACH type="full" alt="transom.jpg"]62028._xfImport[/ATTACH]I also got the front deck cut from 5/8 plywood.
