Takes about two minutes and is a lot easier and faster than Goop with no worries about bubbles.
yep duct seal or water, something to transmit the sound waves between the hull and transducer. make sure there is no air gaps or bubbles.

Making a well out of duct seal . But it's more of a pain.

you can make a small well out of the duct seal, or even just some sort of plastic, but from the bottom of the transducer you need to have something that will transmit the sonar waves, marine grease is the best for this, Humminbird makes an through hull bracket that I have used for my transducer and it works great! Good Luck
