Glue transducer cable holders?

[Kbow]

Hello all!
Santa got me a Garmin EchoMap 74sv combo and I'm planning to install the transducer with a glue-on mounting plate to avoid drilling into the hull. I'd also like to epoxy the cable holders, if that's possible. Has anyone successfully done so? Or do I need to bite the bullet and screw the cable holders in? I think I'll only need a couple of feet of cable exposed before it comes into the aft, safely above the water line.

Thanks!

When I mounted my transducer, I bought the SternMate kit. When I epoxied the SternMate to the hull I used a drop of epoxy on the transducer cable holder and it has held up for a year.

Similar story, picked one up at the boat show. Not sure I want to add anything to the transom. Is there a way to use a through hull transducer?

Take a look at Clickbond adhesive fasteners. If prep is correct they will not come off; we use these products to fasten cable and tube on spacecraft.

Excellent - that is what I'm planning to use as well. Thanks!

I know that Garmin sells other transducers that work with their combos - you can find them on their web site. I would prefer a thru-hull as well, but that adds $$$.
