I just put a new transducer on my boat for a new depth finder. It is a transom mount. I had to drill 3 holes. The first two, no big deal, the third hole, water came out. I don`t know why that location had water. About a shot glass full came out then stopped. Does this mean transom problems ?
I got a sick feeling when I saw it. I have no evidence of any issues. No cracks or apparent weak spots. The three holes were drilled left to right and the third hole which was closest to the bottom of the boat had the water come out. I thought maybe being that close to the bottom maybe I drilled into the bilge or something than it`s not a problem The hole is about 2-2.5" from the bottom and it did rain last night. wishful thinking !!!
So without any other info, any recommendations or speculation ?
Should I do anything to investigate farther?
I dried it out as much as possible and installed the transducer per instruction using 5200 to seal the holes and screws.
Thanks
Tom
