    Default can a broken transducer be glued?


    I have a Eagle Fishmark and I broke the transducer off. Does any one have an idea if I can fix this with a type of glue? Any thoughts?

    I glued a puck type ducer back together using epoxy and fiberglass cloth. It lasted for years and never broke again.

    if the mounting arm is broken I don't see why some gorilla glue, super glue, any appropriate glue should hold it, not got much to lose by trying anyways. GL

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I have used two part epoxy, mine always break between the mounting hole and the transducer. I have found for this type of break you really need some thing for strength if you want it to stay. I have wrapped with very small wire as you would tape an ankle, then glue. I like the idea of the fiberglass cloth!!!!!!! Mine usually break from letting boat back into a tree or stump. I finally made a stainless L bracket that goes over the top of it for protection from such hits. So far so good!!!!!!

    I bought a used Lowrance off ebay once with a broken transducer. I used super glue to attach it, then epoxied around the entire thing. It worked just fine. Every time I bumped it on something, I had to repeat the process. The main reason they break in the first place is people tighten the bolt up too much on the bracket when it's only supposed to be snugged to allow a bump to kick it up.
