I was checking over my boat this Saturday and I noticed that the Lowrance's sonar transducer was no longer attached to its mounting support on the trolling motor.

This is the plastic neck from the transducer unit that you put the screw thru to hold the unit to the trolling motor's transducer mount.

I have no idea when this occurred.

I have a Tracker and am known to go into places normal people with nice boats don't go, so it could have happened last year. Or maybe one of the kids hit it with a ball. Who knows?

So I mixed-up a batch of my trusty JB Weld and glued the transducer support mounting bracket back together.

I have no idea if this will work so I am going to order another transducer from Lowrance but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance for the input.

About a year and a half ago a small vehicle rer ended my friend 's boat on the right side while we were towing it after a trip, as you can imagine it hit the aluminum hull but it also struck the transucer breaking the neck leaving the tranducer hanging from the electrical cord, we fixed it with a polymer glue called PlastAcero ( you can find something similar up there ), it don 't look pretty but it worked.

I have actually had this happen twice. First time I knew when it happened-trolled right into a pile of rocks. Second time, I have no idea what happened-didn't notice it until we got home. It must have happened during loading the boat or towing. Anyway, picked up a couple spare mounts at BPS yesterday. If I remember correctly, they were 20 bucks each.

J-B Weld is just like Duct Tape. They will fix most anything.
