[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 318624, member: 5151"] I have mounted several transducers over the years exactly the way you are planning to do it with no problems. The only concern I had was that in all of the tins that I have owned the thick part of the transom ended a couple of inches above where I needed to screw the transducer mount in which meant that there was just the thickness of the aluminum holding the screws in. I always used Marine silicone to seal. I never had a problem, but it always concerned me. On my current 1648 I cut down a cutting board from Wally World, attached with silicone and a SS screw into the thicker part of the transom. The transducer and wire clamp are fastened with short SS screws that don't go clear through the cutting board. The positioning of this transducer was very fussy and I had to move it. The board prevented me from having to drill more holes in the hull. Good Luck :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
