I recently bought a Garmin Striker 7SV. I need to move the transducer mount to accommodate for the side imaging and larger transducer.
Initially used the same holes that held on my previous transducer for the new transducer, but the side imaging is not that clear (manual says that it needs to be unobstructed from both sides, my outboard is in the way for about the last 2" of the transducer on the left side), and it makes a massive rooster tail of water that soaks the back of my boat.
My only option is to mount it to the bottom of the hull (that's the only place that it will be clear of the outboard on both sides), either by drilling holes and bolting it or using some sort of adhesive.
The transducer mount is plastic, and there is not that much surface area.
Is an adhesive worth a try, or should I just go with stainless bolts?
This boat will do 30mph, I'd rather not risk having it come off while underway, considering the cost of these units.
