Default Re: \"Shoot Through\"transducer luck

The stock 'ducer is a little to big for 4" PVC. So I glued a 4" coupling to a 4" cleanout with 5200. The coupling is at the bottom and cut at the angle of the deadrise. The ducer is kept straight with a couple scraps of pvc glued inside. The cleanout plug is drilled to allow the plug to pass through. The unit is glued to the hull with 5200 and filled with mineral oil.

FWIW, re the 5200 and Starboard, I do not have direct experience with how well it works. I came across this at the King Starboard site though: " Products like 3M's 5200 work well as a water sealing caulk but will not adhere StarBoard to itself or other materials in a permanent bond."
