Lewis, I'm sure I paid more than that for my tube of silicone. Whether SILly Putty or SILicone, if it works it isn't SILly at all!

Try Silly Putty or one of it's generic counterparts. I have my transducer "permanently" installed with it. Been in there for 2 seasons and has never failed. I got it at Wal-Mart (generic) for $.99! Just make sure you install it over solid f-glass and you're all set.

I am installing a Piranha 15 combination fish and depth finder in the forward locker forward of the keel slope on my M15. Can anyone recommend a non permanent material to set the transducer in? I want to test it before epoxying it in place. The hull has a slight concave well just forward of the keel slope that I am going to test. Would it better to fill the well with epoxy to make a level spot or just use the attaching material to fill the well and hold the transducer in place?
Any insights would be appreciated.
