Issue with replacing transom transducer
I have had Lowrance on my boat for the last few years. When I went to change the transducer for my new Garmin, I encountered water coming out the screw holes when I backed out the screws. The screws were set in silicon caulk when I first installed it. I hadn't touched them in 7 years.
After a week the holes are still weeping. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I tried to caulk the old holes but the caulk just melted out with the water weeping.
What can be done to verify I don't have a significant amount of water in the hole now?
Can I get all the water out?
I used west system to create a solid hole to pre drill into for the new transducer so leakage shouldn't be an issue with the new one.
