In-Hull Depth Transducer Install

   My wife and I moved to a new location in the Twin Cities (Coon Rapids) and now have convenient access to the Mississippi River and a few bars by river.  So we are planning to do that next year.  Anyway, I am going to put a depth finder in place of the clock on my dash and an in hull transducer.  I recall many years ago I did this twice on different boats and used a two-part epoxy for setting the transducer on the hull.   In many links today I see this product being referenced:  3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast Cure 5200.
Who's done this recently and what's a good adhesive solution.

Thanks a bunch for the comments!

	Try it first before you glue it down. Who ever put mine in just left it laying in the bottom of the boat. It sits just in front of the v drive. Since it works I have not bothered to change it. Also gives you a chance to see where it works best.

	Here's a link to "one of those other websites" with a little writeup with some pictures about installing the same Faria 13751 transducer. He says he followed the directions and used some GE silicone 2 to attach the cup to the hull. link
