T&T: transducer glue

[Ricky L Carroll]

Don't laugh. I did the toilet ring wax trick 5 years ago in my sailboat and it
still works great. You need to have solid, uniform glass beneath the
transducer, no voids or core and no bubbles in the wax. Set the transducer
down through a solid ball of the ring material with a slight twisting motion.
The nice part is that you can reset it if you have an attentuated signal.
After some time in place, the wax will stiffen up and the transducer will be
well secured, but moveable with very little effort or cleanup.

You can
get a toilet wax ring and place the ring on the hull and, making sure
there
are no air bubbles, push the tranducer into the wax. It will shoot
directly
through the wax and hull.
