[QUOTE="silentbravo, post: 491187, member: 29669"] [b][size=5]Transducer Install 6/11/2021[/size][/b] I bought a piece of 3/4" thick HDPE "Marine board" to use as a universal transducer mounting block. I think this is a much nicer solution than putting new holes in the transom with new fish finders... like It had previously. I think I patched about 7 or 8 holes from previous fish finders. Now it's just 2 holes bolting the plastic through, and fish finders can be replaced and re-positioned on the plastic several times. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1.jpg"]112130._xfImport[/ATTACH] I predrilled and countersunk the holes for the bolts [ATTACH type="full" alt="2.jpg"]112131._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here it is mounted to the boat, caulked in and I also chamfered all of the edges to make it look nicer. [ATTACH type="full" alt="3.jpg"]112132._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="4.jpg"]112133._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is my transducer installed.
