I know 5200 3M Marine sealant is good for repairs, and internal bait tanks. Does anyone use this with their transducer pucks? (shoot through hull) I was using marine goop but it keeps popping off. I want to make sure before I put it in, in case, I need to pull out this transducer for another. How strong is this stuff, don't want to rip out the bottom of my kayak! :lol:

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Chris, I used the 5200 on my transducer and it worked very well. Other stuff that I tried seemed to eventually come loose with the hull flexing. The 5200 really held up great. I just pulled the transducer to test it, troubleshooting my F/F. It took some doing to pull it loose and the 5200 all stuck to the transducer, I then pulled it off, like rubber. It does take a couple days to set.

I've used Marine Grade Silicone Sealant by 3M. Never had a transducer come loose, and have always been able to pull them off the bottom of the kayak if necessary.

Ditto to what everyone else said. Works great, comes off easy, but not too easy. Good clean signal, no airbubbles for the 2 transducers I have mounted.

Thanks everyone, that answered all my questions, just set it, and will test it out Saturday.

5200 works great for transducers and it's easy to remove when you need to. I also used it on my old almumium boat with good results
