[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 451196, member: 15636"] Less if you didn’t prep & prime the area beforehand, the 5200 will attack the tin ... you should look up the pictures Johnny posted - see below. I prep & prime the area w/ zinc chromate, then coat the area w/ G-Flex 650 flexible epoxy (or Steel-Flex) and then adhere the plastic piece to that. Cutting ‘dovetail’ features on the back of the plastic will improve adherence, allowing a mechanical lock, as those HDPE-type plastics don’t really chemically bond with polysulfide products like 5200. FYI, 8-ounce kits of West Systems G-Flex 650 epoxy run ~$20 in my neck of the woods, whereas one needs to but Steel-Flex in bulk amounts. Great DIY post here on xducer mounting = https://www.forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38017&hilit=Transducer+aluminum+5200 [/QUOTE]
