The only problem you may have is if the ducer scatches the 5200 then the oil can get in the 5200 and break it down chemically. I have seen 2 ducers where the mineral oil was leaking out from the seal area and when the owners took them off the 5200 was deteriorating.
But I know of 5 others with the same set up and they have not had a problem.

I'm gonna coat the inside of the well including the 5200 bead around the bottom w/a DAPCO latex sealer...should isolate oil from 5200 Capt Pete...I think they don't want you to set the ducer in 5200 which isn't what I'm doin here...it'll be suspended in the oil...the 5200 is adhesive/sealer for the pipe/well only, so I think it'll be OK... And the ethyl glycol anti-freeze concerns me more than the mineral oil in terms of breaking down the 5200 over time...thanks for the suggestion and I'll use as plan B, but will forge ahead w/ min. oil til it poofs in my face...LOL!!...

Hey REEL, just brain storming here....what about mixing up a little resin to attach the pipe instead of 5200....no worries then.

Randleman & Destroyer...Pobabaly should have done that, but she's been set in 5200 for several days now...I'll coat w/some sealer I just picked up and try 'er that way...if this DOESN'T work, I'll cut it out and epoxy it back in...

No leaks,mineral oil is still there
Did a search to see if I could find info on your transducer install. HDS5 is not reading depth :( Reel, your install does not seem to be the problem. I loosened the clamp on the lid and looked inside, the mineral oil is all present and accounted for. Ant thoughts on why I would get three dashes instead of a depth reading?

three dashes indicate no signal to the head unit, either a bad transducer, a bad connection or a break in the transducer cable

Thanks Spare
Appreciate the diagnosis. Kinda what I was figuring. I tried a soft reset of the unit and that did not help. I would have thought that if the mineral oil was gone I would have gotten errattic and inaccurate readings instead of no reading at all. Oh well, one more thing one the to do list.
