As long as there is Marine goop between the hull and your duper with no bubbles you should be good but you may want to look into a wet Mount since it is considered a less permanent way to mount inside the hull and you are more then likely going to upgrade kayaks sooner or later. In my opinion a wet Mount performs for consistently as well. Look up wet Mount in the search bar, I'm sure plenty of threads will pop up.

Instead of marine goop, try electrical putty. No bubbles to worry about, cheep to buy, and you can take it out any time you want with no hassles.

I used the electrical putty to install my transducer, so far so good. I've carried the kayak upside down more than a dozen times and I've had no issues with the transducer slipping or moving.

Is it the tape? Does the Putty come in another form? Any specific brand?
