I just installed two Echomap Plus 93SV units , ordered without transducer. I bought the GT 30 / GT 8 transducers . I’m getting ready to epoxy the GT 8 in tomorrow morning and I was wondering what kind of epoxy to use ? Garmin does not supply any . The instructions say to use a marine grade quick curing epoxy . I’m having a hard time finding that exact kind . Can someone recommend something I can use from like Home Depot or Lowes ? Thanks it is going in a Lund fiberglass boat .
thanks
I've used some marine epoxy from Home Depot to do a Lowrance ducer in a friends boat and it work just fine. I would think a slow curing type vs fast.....make sure you place something heavy on tope of it to keep it in place while it dries......
If someone has a different idea then hopefully they will share it.
J-B Plastic Weld sets 5 min full cure 1 hour walmart $4.74 + tax .. good for cracked plastic dash in cars/trucks too :thumb up2:
I use Loctite Marine Epoxy.
I used black RVT it was recommended by Garmin tech I know. Make SURE you sand and clean area.
Note that the RTV silicone is used for the GT15-IH to seal the mounting tank to the hull. RTV is not used with the GT8-IH (pod-style). As others have suggested above, fast-cure two-part epoxy is used with the GT8.Quote:
