As far as I recall, there are two screw holes, and screws are provided. Placing screws in the plate allowed me to locate it. Then I removed the screws and applied a marine adhesive on the back, filled the screw holes with the adhesive, then installed the Both screws and adhesive seem to be working fairly well, it is still firmly in place. Having discovered this the hard way, I just wanted to mention it. all existing/old screw holes with the adhesive, or they are likely to Pre-drill and tap the plate for the transducer, and I drilled and tapped 4 sets of holes so that the transducer could be adjusted seamlessly

Transducer plates are expensive, so I bought one of them without knowing if I would use it. The plate fit perfectly on the Transducer Plate, so I removed my transducer and mounted the plate on the aluminum Bass Tracker. My transducer was reinstalled as well as a new StructureScan transducer after the plate had been mounted. Neither of these plates will fall off, they are held securely by the plate. The transducers are still secure in place even after running the boat hundreds of times at high speed. The plates are well made and I would recommend them.
A transom with this feature is a must on today's boats. The practice of transducers, however, would have been even more beneficial if I had done it four transducers ago. The last time I upgraded the electronics on my boat, I had to install a In total, I have had 8 holes drilled into the transom of my boat. It took me a while to patch and seal up the holes in my boat, but this product sealed them up, and the boat has no other holes in it (except for the two mounting screws). I'm glad I got this plate to cover over all my previous holes, plus it My new transducer screws were easy to drill, and I used a generous amount of Loctite Marine sealant/adhesive to adhere the unit to the mount hole. It fits perfectly, and its a good product. Here is an easy upgrade to your electronics transducer mount that you might want to consider. Other than the ones on the road heading to the ramp, there are no boat holes. The last bit of advice is to use better quality screws and It was made with #10 oval head bolts made from 316 stainless steel.
A word that has a lot of importance here is loved. It is not a good idea to secure this thing using only the 5200-series unless you're willing to take diving lessons for your It was a mistake I made and I will not make The cord detaches from the boat like a sail, and I had to pull it completely through the center console of the boat and out the back. You should use the hardware that is For this reason, there are screws included in the package.
What's inside is worthless, as are the screws. I had to use pliers to remove the second screw because the head of the screw twisted off when I was installing it. The pilot holes had already been drilled and the marine sealant had been applied, so I had enough screw to back it out with. This board is good, but if you want stainless screws, you should get your own.
This mount looks great for mounting transducers, but if you are going to state that 2 stainless steel screws are included in the listing, then you damn well need to The bag inside my purchase contained only a chunk of plastic without any It will take a couple of stainless steel screws to mount this. I'll head to the hardware store now.
It works great and is quick to apply. Sealant was put on the back of the board, and I screwed the board to my boat it fit my transom perfectly, even though it was curved. Once the excess sealant was wiped off, I caulked the edges of the board like caulk and the board is ready to use!.
It is possible that the person with the complaint about the screws does not have a fiberglass bot that he used an impact driver as well as did not drill the holes large enough. When you drill the fiberglass holes, it's a fine line between too big of a hole versus not big enough of a hole. That issue was the result of an error made by the user, not screw failure.
A side imaging transducer was being installed on a used boat, not a new one, and I didn't want to swiss cheese my transom by uninstalling and reinstalling. My aluminum boat was just missing the old transducer so this was just what I needed to cover the old holes and install the new one. The only thing I changed was the bead around the perimeter of the hole. I used 3M 5200 in all the previous holes with no problems. We raised the transducer the first time because we did not get the transducer height right on the first try. A little hole in a piece of plastic was not a bother to me, as opposed to a hole in a board. It's the railing all around me!.
