Depth transducer came loose
 

So there I was cleaning my builds because you know I want to eat my sandwich if it happens to fall in there.... Anyway, as I was cleaning I touched the transducer and it just came loose. I swear I just tapped it!! Anyway, I assume west systems gflex 650 epoxy will work to glue it back down bit I figure I'd ask for options on here first. Maybe a more non permanant adhesive is in order bit not sure. Thoughts please...
Thanks guys!

After a while the epoxy becomes brittle and the transducer works its way loose from the vibrations in the boat. Yes, just about any epoxy will do to re-seat the unit.

Thanks Mikey. I was thinking of replacinv my smart tabs with a whale tail too, what do you think? I found a nice set of Mickey Mouse ears at the Disney store yesterday... Lol. Seriously, thanks dude! Hope y'all get some heat up your way soon!

Hey hooligan, just out of curiosity... Assuming you have the Lowrance 3500 like mine does- what does your read out say while the transducer is knocked off?

My read out just flashes 0 and was thinking I may have purchased a new unit when I didn't need to. I have yet to unwrap the boat. Maybe in the next two weeks if the platform is done.

I will hook up a battery and let you know. I will also take some pictures. I think this helps me figure my transom bilge drain question as well.

Hey moto, I do have the 3500. Mine flashes 0.5 whether it's pointed at the sky or set where it was mounted. I am pretty sure this is what it's normal behavior has been until you put the boat in the water, at least from what I remember from last summer. Maybe someone else can second that...

That's wild! I hope that's all that's wrong with mine!
If not I have a new Faria that matches the dash.
