Hey guys,
I bought a brand new Z18 from my Cary, NC BassPro this last November. Had my BassPro service center install a new Lowrance system w/transducer on the boat.
The 6th trip out, my transducer FELL off (at full speed), hit the boat, motor housing and landed on the back deck of the boat. Got home, took a look, thinking I could screw it back on...no luck...so I called my BassPro and took the boat in for repairs. All they did was fill the holes with caulking and add a third screw.
Went out yesterday had a nice day on the water and when I returned home...to wash my boat I noticed the transducer at an odd angle on the boat...so I got down to take a look. All three screw are loose and the transducer moves up/down with no effort.
I really HATE to take my boat back to BassPro (they don't know what their doing)...was wondering if any of you know of an epoxy type product that I can put into the holes and screw into to properly hold the transducer?
Really sucks that the poor design on the Nitro Z18...you would think they would put something in the most common areas for mounting transducers...something for screws to bite into.
I'm open for suggestions...PLEASE, I don't want this transducer to fall off AGAIN!!!!
Thanks,
Jeff
