Hey Bones,
My first thought was to try heat also. When installing the transducer is my
boat I had some trouble finding a good location. In the end I decided to
epoxy it to the hull and if the location was wrong I planned to heat it to
remove it. 5200 is tough, but I think heat gun heat, as opposed to a flame
would be helpful. Knowing you, I guess you've already thought through this
logic. Let me know what works.

Hello Listers,
I have purchased new instruments for my M23 and after hauling out this
fall I intend to mount the new mushroom transducer housings in the same
spots as the present ones. The question: does anyone have any experience
removing the old mounts? I have no idea what adhesive was used to glue
them into the hull, it could be something as strong as 3M 5200. I was
thinking of removing the clamping nut, then applying some heat to see if
the mounts may loosen. Then do some gentle prying.
Any input would be appreciated.
I purchased new Navman speed and depth electronics to replace the old
Signet Marine.
Thanks,
Bones in Mpls
