Transducer Install - Stealth 14
Popular ways I have seen are Marine Goop, Duct Seal etc.. If anyone could shed some lite on this I would greatly appreciate it! This will be my first FF install on a Kayak. Thanks in advance! |

In my Stealth 12 I installed, in the hull, front portion just in front of the bait tank. What I did was to get some plumbers putty and rolled about a 1/4" thick strip of putty and then placed an oval shaped circle in the crevis of the hull and filled it with goop. I then taped the transducer into the pool of goop and put a little weight on it to keep it in place for 24 hours.
Works great! I think the water temp might be off a couple of degrees but otherwise no issues.

FUL - RAC,
That looks like the way to go. Seems like that would be the most accurate reading. I think for now on the pocket book I will go with either the Duct - Seal with water or something similar. Do you know if that Transducer you used will work for a Eagle Cuda 350? Thanks |

Dirti Curti,
Did you have any issues with AirBubbles? I watched the Kayak fishing supplies video and they said as long as it was a continuos layer of Marine Goop with out lifting up it would not create air bubbles. |

I also have a new Stealth 14 with a Humminbird 345c DI Sonar Fishfinder. The problem I am having is where and how to mount the Transducer?
If it is a Down Imaging Dual beam, Can I mount this in the inside the hull ? Thanks for the help Cheers Saba |

No problems. Just set it in, tape it down and don't touch it for 24 hours.

I installed the transducer on my Stealth-12 using a PVC tube and "T", currently I changed the "T" and I am using a cap instead, hope this help you.

not really, i am using now a Elite-4 DSI and due to the transducer is smaller it fit better on the kayak.
