Thread: Shoot thru hull transducer

I used clear silicone on our family boat and it works fine. Make sure to keep the air bubbles out by keeping the gun low and make a large pile to push it into. You can remove it easily also. My Fishing boat is metal. If I could do the same to it I would.

Through a metal boat? I was under the impression that when installing one for a metal boat that the section of metal needed to be removed for it to work properly. This is good to know in case I decide to go through the hull at a later date.
