Transducer Removal
 

My friend wants to know how to remove the transducer that put in the hull with opoxy. Don't know how he put it. Is their any way to loosen up the opoxy? Thanks.

I removed a few using a putty knife. I worked the edges (in and out) until I found a spot that allowed the blade to penetrate under the adhesive. Then I pried it loose. The putty knife works good because it bends and therefore does not gouge the plastic. You just need to be persistent. This method worked on both Goop and 5200.

DO NOT USE A SHARP TOOL!

Be careful with what every you use (No razor blades
or knives). You could easily cut through the bottom
of your kayak.

Are you referring to a putty "knife" as a sharp tool? What I was referring to isn't actually a knife. http://www.google.com/images?q=tbn:r...sSQmNhVciIwV8=

If you used regular non-flexible epoxy on a polyethylene kayak, you maybe able to removed it by hitting it with a rubber hammer from the outside and then spraying it with WD-40. It should pop off after a good soak.

With Goop, the method previously mentioned works well for me.

I have removed them a couple of times by applying a little heat with a heat gun. This works good with Goop but I am not sure about epoxy.
