Reel - The way I mounted the transducer was to prep the bilge (sand flat, acetone, and fill any rough surfaces that could potentially trap air. The I took the transducer and made a wall of clay 2" deep around the perimeter. The bottom of the tranducer will look like a cereal bowl. Then I filled the entire bowl with silicon. Once that is done you can position the transducer in place. The clay walls will shape to any angle you desire and hold the unit at the proper angle until the silicone is cured (takes about 5 days to fully cure). Once the silicone is cured you can peel off the clay and you have a perfect puck that is removable (if necessary).
Just remember to slide the transducer into place and make sure no air pockets are formed when you put the ducer in place.
