1967 StarCraft drilless transducer DIY and installation

[@TheNockingPoint]

All Hail Michael! Purveyor of knowledge and Saver of transoms everywhere. There should be a special place for people who drill holes in transoms below the water line. Especially when they do it more than once and think that a small squirt of 4200 or 5200 will seal the holes.

This spring for my new 3-in-1 transducer. I used a SEAWORTHY INNOVATIONS Stern Pad Jumbo White - Screwless Transducer/Acc. Mounting Kit (for Large 3D Scan Transducers) - Made in The USA with Genuine 3M VHB Adhesive Armed with Michael's information or these fancy pads, there is absolutely no reason to drill into a transom other than to mount an engine or stern dirve.

👍👍👍👍 that is a nice mount like that you can used it more than a few times. And you have proof that it will hold up for years . Looks like the new drone is working good. 👍👍👍 As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming

You truly are a genius Michael. Appreciate the informative videos. Like the undercut suggestion. Very helpful for different projects. Cheers

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the compliment and helping me drive my wife crazy, LOL

[@timconklin8489]

I like what you did with the starboard on gluing it to the back of boat, i guess if you have multiple transducers you could make the smaller to fit each transducer Thanks, Tim

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

for sure or wider even. Thanks for watching

Good video Michael, nothing really radical, just something very functional.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I'm all about functional Thanks for watching

[@TheNockingPoint]

Fantastic job on making undercuts!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Super thanks

Mike I glue (epoxy) my transducer to the inside of the hull. Works great if you do not have a cored bottom. I have done this on fiberglass as well as aluminum boats. One significant benefit is holes,p,us it is protected and I get no cavitation.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

Cool, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching

[@johnmccarthy7931]

Thanks for posting a video today.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

absolutely my pleasure, thanks for watching

[@crispernator]

Gday mate good idea ,me personally i probably would have used sikafle 291 and i was amazed that you didnt use the 3m equivelent 5200 i think it is anyway good video and will help people mounting transducers and cable ,by the way what are the cable clips called i have to mount my transducer onto my boat i have to go over the top or drill a 14mm hole damb lowerance are stupid .

[@CryptoGhostie]

Have you or your son ever hit or had a bird hit one of your drones?

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

We have come very close a couple of times. Thanks for watching

[@richardcranium5839]

you're one fart smucker!! i'm thinkin how i can make a pole setup to hook to the teansom so its all removeable and portable. used those sprink clamp things for hanging up broom handles on the row boat works great. bit i dont wanna do that on my good boat. that way i can turn ir so side scan can do front to back too. poormans livescope.

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

That's a good plan, thanks for watching

[@FriggOff361]

Love the videos! I was thinking just mabye you could do up some 2-2.5-3 hp johns and evins? Thank you!

[@Michaelsbackyardmarina]

I have a couple smaller outboards that needs some work. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching

[@FriggOff361]
