My lovely wife bought me a Garmin 498c Gps because my other chartplotter turned south. I have a 20' CC Scout with a 175 oceanpro. Anyway, I ran the cable for the transducer and mounted the unit on the console with no problems. When I went to mount the transducer, I noticed a bracket on the transom where it looked like another transducer was mounted. So I took off the bracket on the transom thinking that I could mount the new transducer in the same mounting holes. When I took the old bracket off, there was water dripping from the screw holes. I left it alone for a couple of days thinking it would dry. I checked it today and there is still water coming out of the mounting holes. I also blow some compressed air in the holes today hoping they would dry so I can mount the new transducer. My question is, should I worry about the water dripping out of these mounting holes? Also, can I use a standard silicone to mount the new transducer or should I use a marine sealant?
Thanks
