    Transducer mount screws backing out

    Anybody use a 3m product to keep them from backing out? Or another idea? I’m sure it’s come loose due to vibration from using it. This is in a fiberglass boat and it doesn’t sit in the water longer than a day.

    I just used stainless screws and plenty of marine silacone in the hole and all around the bracket and they have never backed out.

      This is what I did as well on my boat. Never had an issue

          3M Marine 5200. ,Let it cure for 2 days and the screws will stay tight.

                What do you do about side imaging and down imaging?

                  4200 will be fine. Don’t use 5200 unless you want it there forever.

                    A little tip. You wont use very much and the stuff if a little pricey, so recap the tube and put it in a ziplock in the frig. Might still be good for later projects.

                      There are several options. They are not cheap though.

                        Get you one of these and mount it. Then screw into it. never had a problem and you are not screwing into the fiberglass of your boat.

                          None of them will shoot through the hull though.

                            Running with a SternMate on my flats skiff.

                            No holes and or worries.

                            Been glued and in place since 2013.

                            I like this model due to the options to move the transducer after the plate gets glued to the hull. Many adjustment options with stainless screws to tune the transducer to the way you want it to run and perform. My deal was to ensure I can run at high speed yet drift flats without worry. I'm drafting 6.5 inches of water on my skiff so this is a real concern.
