How would one go about plugging the hole in the hull left after removing a simple low profile thru hull sonar xducer?
The xducer is plastic and original to the boat from the OEM for the Lowrance 3500 depth sounder.
There is a small chip on the leading edge of it and am concerned the whole thing may be compromised.
The problem is that is it is nearly impossible to get to from the inside , as it is under the engine in a horrifically tight engine compartment. Needs engine to come out to fully access, which I do not want to do right now. Thinking about Marine Tex'ing it, for now, from outside and dealing with permanent fiberglass fix when it is time for engine removal.
Reasonable suggestions???
Replacement xducer no longer available for the Lowrance 3500, so as soon as I find something to fill the dash spot for the Lowrance sonar, I will place the 3500 on here as a "free to good home that needs it, not to just resell for a profit". Or maybe a trade for a raw water pressure gauge to match rest of my Sierra Sahara gauges.
