Echo sounder adhesive

[Crusher]

Hi all,

My through hull echo sounder transducer has come loose/unattached. I lifted it up and it looks like it was stuck down with a clear silicone, or something similar.(it's been fixed fine for the 5 years I've owned it)
Googling tells me two part epoxy,

Any advice /or experience would be welcomed.
(Current location has always given a great reading so just looking to clean it up and reattach in the same place)

Many thanks

I used two part epoxy when mine came loose in the transom well, been fine the last couple of years.

or Sika 291.

ours have been siliconed in the drain wells for years..never come loose, work fine and are generally ignored and taken for granted. I suppose removable should we wish to take 'em out.

I just used araldite quick setting and that worked fine, make a well from bluetack or similar then fill it with adhesive (try not to get airbubbles) then just push the sounder into the well and hold in place till it sets.

Alternatively use Sika works just as well and a lot less hassle.

Same here, we used Araldite 2 part adhesive, works well!
