Thread: mounting transducers to fibreglass boat

    Re: mounting transducers to fibreglass boat

    yeah was looking at the sternmates, but I got to mount a p66 on one side and another tranny and LSS structure scan on the other, would have ended up costing over $300 delivered and the extended sternmate doesn't give you the 300mm you need between the trannies. Thanks for the offer, might try and source the same shit Damo did first and if not will hit you up, bloody unreal idea, great info.

    You probably don't need one piece but 2 smaller bits the right distance apart would do the job.

    yeah I would need three all up, I think they are 120 USD each, so I would need three, and postage, would be nearly $400 bux AUD

    Corian or compact laminate yes.
    Cesarstone, essastone, quantum Quartz not a chance they are solid stone, these are also Brand names not individual products. A bit like saying go and buy a ford, yeah but which one.

    Shark poker, I went with a product that was available at a cheap price and blended into the colour of the transom.
    Aluminium probably would have worked but stainless screws always has electrolysis issues with your mounting hardware.

    So an inert material was the best solution. And it will live on the transom for years to come. And if I want to re drill a new transducer on in a few years I can plug the old holes with epoxy and drill new ones.

    I'm sure there is plenty of waterproof products that you would use this method for. As the surface area of the epoxy is massive and would need tonnes of force to remove. It's the materials comparability with epoxy you need to check.

    Most plastics don't like epoxy, such as HDPE, Teflon etc. so just test any pieces on something scrap first.

    Damo, I don't know if it's just me, but your signature always reads to me like you have a 'boat building repair shop' which is "dodgy" - but this is not the intended meaning I assume .

    I think you mean you have a 'boat building and repair shop' for "dodgy boats/previous dodgy repair methods (by other builders/DIY etc etc)"

    Yes/no??

    Or is it just sleep deprivation getting to me , and others think there is nothing wrong with your Marketing Slogan ?

    Re: mounting transducers to fibreglass boat

    Your sleep deprived adaption of my signature is some what correct.
    Damo's - meaning an ownership of Damo.
    Dodgy boat building - meaning any boat building work that is dodgy by manufacturer or previous attempts at repair.
    Repair shop - meaning they leave my shop in a better state than they arrived.

    But your not the first person to question the signature.

    Originally it was simply Damo's dodgy boat repairs. Which some people took as I create dodgy work.

    It is in no way an advertisement of my cashie business. I actually don't do work for people I don't know. Most of my work comes direct from friends and work colleges. I just get enough to always have a full shed.

    Re: mounting transducers to fibreglass boat

    Sounds like a good enough reason for a competition for a "new slogan for Damo"...

    At least it will give as all something to do... bit slow round here otherwise lately!

    Prize is a carton, err a six pack, err I mean some free advice for boat repairs 'which is in no way dodgy'
    Cheers

    I am happy to hear the suggestion trail. The train of thought could be more entertaining than the slogan.

    1. "Damo's boat building repair shop - nothing's too dodgy for me to fix".

    2. "Damo's boat building repair shop - I fix other people's dodgy work"

    3. "Damo's boat building repair shop - the exterminator of dodgy work"
