Hobie dealers stock marine goop, which is best, but failing that selleys all clear seems to provide adequate success rate. As Frank says warm it first, it flows easier and with less risk of bubbles which stuffs it up.

Shoe goo from rebel sport same as marine goop, warm it in hot tap water so it runs more.

Hi Toady,
You can use Sikaflex 291i
Kept transducer in for 2 years now. I used the 100ml tube with heaps left. Also EBay for $13.
But Goop works too.

+1 for sikaflex 291i comes in black or white, had a transducer in the bow of the yacht for 4 years now, $20 at Bunnies for a 100ml tube.
