My FF just crapped out. It was still under warranty so I returned it to West Marine and exchanged it for a new one. (See another recent thread for more on this).
When I removed the old gooped in transducer today, I was really surprised to see that the entire surface that was supposed to be in contact with the plastic was covered with bubbles. I was really careful to avoid any bubbles when I installed this transducer.I followed the excepted procedure perfectly. Somehow I must have messed up. After looking at all the bubbles, I am surprised that the thing worked at all, let alone for two years.
While I am technically no longer a rookie, I have to say that just like Bentrod, I could use some good advise on installing the transducer on my new unit so I can avoid the bubble problem. Is the foam and water method a better way to go? Is there another better method?
Sloberdog, if you know of a link that demonstrates the installation method that you used, please post. If this method is used, will the transducer stay in place when transporting or storing the kayak upside down?
