Transducer mount... is this right?

If it were mine I would just leave it. Chances of ripping a screw out are almost zero. Even if a screw came out it would probably take an hour to fill with water through a hole that small and you'd have plenty of time to bail out.

If I were worried about it I wouldn't use goop, I'd pull out the soldering iron and weld it shut.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep an eye on the screws. I will epoxy them and put putty over the epoxy to be safe. I'm a little nervous to solder plastic.

Thanks a bunch!

Welding plastic takes some time, but it's not difficult. I recommend before you even take it out, seal around the area the best you can with epoxy and goop as you've stated, let those set and dry, and then fill the hull full of water and see if anything leaks out. If not, then you should be good to go.

You can get the goop from OEX online or in store, you can also order it on Amazon. West Marine would be a good location for the Epoxy. I've also been told that the JB Water weld works well on the inside of the kayak.
