[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 497286, member: 3438"] I have only used bolt thru and 5200 to seal them. I used 1/2" King Starboard because that was what I had laying around from re-making a ski locker cover. Over many years, have not had any of the transducer screws pull free of the King Starboard. While the modern side-scan transducers are very long, their front profile is much smaller than the older ones, like what I have. Do they have a "pop-up" feature in the mount? ie too much water resistance they will pop-up and pivot from a higher point. I have never had my large Si transducers do that, but my top speed with them is only around 30mph. I had a 2D transducer on my bowrider, that would pop-out at 50mph. [/QUOTE]
