If you can get a part started should be able to work it all lose. I wouldn't think it adhered rel good to your shaft unless you sanded and prepped real good for permanent install. You really want to save itt if new for warranty. Remember in a case like this time is your friend.
Cray, looks like you were right, by not roughing up the surface on the TM shaft, I was able to pull loose a couple of spots on the shaft where the epoxy came loose pretty easy or I made a bad mix of the stuff one LOL either way looks like it might come off with out to much of trouble but it is yet to be seen. I adjusted the ducer and leveled it up from side to side and back to back and thought I would try it one more time before I sent it off for repair. I have the metal radiator type clamp around it but I have some rubber in between the clamp, transducer and the TM motor. Don't know if the way I may have had it mounted could be responsible or not but gonna try it one more time to see if it helped. Feeling better about getting the epoxy off now and if I have to replace the ducer, I will go back with a few spots of Super Glue as Feelay and Sat mentioned. Thanks again for you heads up on getting the epoxy started to come off
