Try some MARINE-TEX this stuff is purdy good an bonds to plastic reel well.
Or maybe JB WEld
Try super glue and baking soda. It holds pretty good on most plastic. Put super glue on the 2 pieces and stick them together. Then smear glue (use quite a bit, almost like your welding with the superglue) over the crack and dump bakind soda on it before it dries. take your finger and rub it in. It will not stick to your finger if you have plenty of baking soda on there. It will get real hot and dry almost instantly.
:fishBest thing that i did was buy one of these. Broke transducer like the one you broke, dont even have to glue the old one back toghter. Still going strong 5yrs later, millions of stumps!Quote:

Jb weld, water weld putty. I broke one just like that and fixed it with the jb water weld putty. Hit a stump again after I fixed it, pulled the screws and mounting bracket out of the transome of the boat but the fix held.
gorilla glue
Marine Tex or JB weld.CF
Locktite Epoxy Plastic Bonder, it comes in a 2-part side-by-side syringe, good stuff, about $5.
If you really want to continue to use this transducer and also protect it from the next big hit....go with the Transducer shield and saver - SSC-1 $39.95 and much cheaper than a new $70 transducer.

I drilled a hole in the remaining part like you have left ther and run bolt through it. Worked great. Like sombody said JB weld (WaterWeld) works great to and will not come apart if you do it right
Thanks again for all the tips.
