Just bought one. Thank you for saving the back of my boat!

[@osiyooverland]

How has it held up?

[@douglastaylor4279]

My boat has the off set or step in the transom as the boat shown in video. Is that where I am to mount right above the step or do I place it under the step closer to bottom of boat?

[@DLeopoldi914]

What do you do about barrier coat or bottom paint? Do you have to sand the barrier coat off? Before you apply

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

For a few pennies more they could send a second mounting pin so that the Stern Saver stays level and doesn’t twist. It would help tremendously with the application of the Stern Saver

[@waltervdo6157]

May I cover the glue to the whole area not just the 6 holes and their surroundings? I know the glue from the 6 holes will spread, but they will not spread to the whole surface of the plate, will cover the whole surface get more bonding force or it will hurt the process? Thanks

[@RichA7CV41]

I just used this, and this thing rocks.......

[@MenCanNotBeWomen]

I would be putting and X from one corner to the other etc, so it covers 90% of the surface area , just encase

[@jamesathendune9026]

Sternsaver how does your product stand up to the cold of a Canadian winter?

[@umienh916]

Do i put marine silicone in the mount?

[@bunrachhorn6963]

Does it work in salt water

[@SuperTitole]

Where can I buy this. I can’t find it on any of the stores listed

[@mrBDeye]

I'm a Dentist, so I love drilling holes even when not needed. LOL

[@maykelgarcia23]

mrBDeye 3 funny 🖒

[@thebeardedsportsman]

Can the stern saver be cut?

[@jeffc6038]

I need one for a sailboat the stern sit high out of the water

[@hankford2493]

Is your product strong enough to hold a W/F separator mounted inside the splash well ?

[@justinpeto]

Hank Ford yes, that’s what I used it for. Works great.

[@jbgray1960]

Should install this only in the summer time. Not in cold weather

[@stratosjeff7007]

will these hold the bigger Lowrance LSS-2 transducers?

[@TheSternSaver]

stratosjeff -They will, however we are coming out with a double-thick 1.5" block that is 6"X6" soon. That will hold even the 9lb Airmar TM260 transducer.

[@rossanderson4936]

The rear end of a pontoon is not a flat surface???? Any possibilities to use this...or do you know of a "plyable" block that can be used?

[@TheSternSaver]

Our epoxy is so thick, it’s able to bridge a large enough gap that you can mount them to a curved surface like the back of a pontoon. In fact, the Stern Saver is the only transducer mount that you can use for a curved or uneven surface.

[@michaelhanlon732]

No is concerned about sanding the gel coat? That causes water intrusion and damages your hull.

[@justachipnc33]

Is a fish finder with a 300 transducer better then a 200? Im wanting a Garmin 301dv (300 trans) ppl are saying the Lowrance Elite-4x HDI Fishfinder with 83/200 (200 trans) is better? NEED TO KNOW FAST! And "IS" for a in hull kayak

[@TheSternSaver]

Garmin and Lowrance both make great products but the general consensus is Lowrance makes the better sonar and Garmin makess the better GPS. I would demo both for yourself if you can just to compare the pros and cons of each unit. My boat has a 83/200 Lowrance and it works great until I fish 1000' plus deep water. You can always upgrade your transducer to an Aimar which is available for Lowrance and Garmin fish finders if you need better performance. I would consider a unit with a chart plotter/GPS so you can mark way points. Also when you find fish you can stay precisely on a "hot spot" and mark it's exact location, as well as record the X and Y coordinates for future reference.

[@justachipnc33]

I got 2 at Cabelas on sale. The HUMMINBIRD 196ci $99 and the LOWRANCE EliteX 5 HDI for $199. That 5 is a big sucker lol The 196 ci perfect for the kayak. Can't wait to get them in use. tx for the reply.

[@richpana5178]

Where does the cord run to the gps? Won't you have to drill in the hull anyway?

[@TheSternSaver]

Rich Pana -You route the cables either up over the transom into your motor cable tunnel or drill a hole ABOVE the waterline and use something like a Cable Clam as a pass-through. This war you won't drill any holes is a spot that can cause water infiltration.

[@hitnmiss49]

How do you install it on a painted aluminum boat? Lonnie

[@TheSternSaver]

It’s best to bond to the bare aluminum rather than to paint. We cannot guarantee that the paint’s adhesion is strong enough to bear the forces applied to it.

[@notforyou85]

can you mount this onto a sun dolphin jon boat? (plastic boat)

[@gewglesux]

Yes!! I just did this worked like a charm.Basstender.

[@tripcia2524]

ola , of what material is this white plate ?? Is it pvc ?? Thanks

[@Mijaybird46]

Polymer

[@fishermarine4576]

Does it work on aluminum boats

[@TheSternSaver]

Fisher Marine45 The Stern Saver is the best transducer mount for aluminum boats.

[@CommentingTheTruth]

Why so large? And why do the cavities hold so much epoxy?

[@gewglesux]

I just installed this as you press the block the holes dispense the Epoxy evenly.

[@toddgatesh4498]

Sold at West Marine.

[@gewglesux]

Not anymore.

[@Ed1Ward]

Instructions now say put syringe in 100°F hot water for 5 minutes(before breaking tip off) ... Glue as per guide.. Wait 12 hours before fixing transducer.

[@patrickcotter945]

Lost me at, " remove the gelcoat".

[@tomrodbend7733]

so esentially u go to the dollarama... get yourself the two part epoxy... drill holes to a piece of plastic... rough up the area a bit and screw the transducer onto the plastic....under 5 bucks.

[@justinpeto]

Tom Rodbend lol way to be ignorant bud, maybe you should just DIY it with duct tape and a chunk of plastic 👍🏻

[@gewglesux]

@@justinpeto I don't think he's serious. Just a joky joke... I hope.

[@explorer099]

No link to product purchase website? Marketing 101 fail.

[@tonylwright]

He tells you right at the end where to buy the damn thing. Is a link that much easier than typing tacklewarehouse.com? Hey look, I just gave you the link. Now you don't have to even do any thinking at all.

[@12Jetdiver55]

So you destroy the gelcoat anyway.................. are you kidding?

[@TheSternSaver]

12Jetdiver55 Scuffing the gelcoat does not destroy it, but drilling holes in your transom can cause transom rot. Transom rot is the equivalent to totaling your car. Scuffed gelcoat can always be wet sanded and polished back to it's original shine and is in fact how old boats with heavily oxidized gelcoat are restored.

[@stumpy1958]

Scott I thought of the same thing that 12Jetdiver55 wrote. Your answer makes sense though. Suggest making a comment to that affect during the instructions. I expect people will switch off when they see that "damage" being done to the paintwork, Thanks for the video. Will your product work in-hull as well? I have a Lowrance fish finder. Cheers

[@alanw73]

Stern saver doesn’t use epoxy anymore yet this is the video they tell people to look at
