Transducer mount.

lookup "stern pad" on amazon or ebay

Not screwed into transom. Piece of 1/2 starboard is held on by epoxy (gflex by West) only. The transducer is screwed into the starboard , but not into the transom.

It is a homemade stern pad like skunk mentioned.

Ok thanks stern pad got it thanks again, I really don't like drilling holes below the water line

You can get a gflex kit for about the same as the stern pad kit. I had the starboard left over other projects.

That's where mine is located too..

Do you think yours is stronger,better than the stern pad ? The reason is I would really like something permanent and what would you use to fill the screw holes I have now below the water line

[phatdaddy]

I guess i think its stronger, i know i used more epoxy than they give u in kit. When using starboard, u have to flame it. Basically wave it over a propane torch for a few seconds, this oxidizes the plastic and gives it better adhesion.

U could also use the gflex to fill the older screw holes, but plain epoxy would be better.
If you notice the two old screw holes to the left side of the transducer, i filled those.

I drilled out the older holes with a 1/2 drill and went about 1/2 deeper. Wet out the holes with epoxy, then filled with a thicken mixture of epoxy and cabosil. Let it stand out proud for a day or two, then sand smooth.
