    A lot of guys mount a small piece if King Starboard or PVC board to the transom then mount the ducer to that so you can move it without redrilling but your ducer should have a good amount of up/down adjustment without redrilling. I would set it as I described above and put your screws at the bottom of the slots so you can go down a little if needed.

    If you mount it in the bilge I think you wil be very happy. I do mine a little different. I take some plumbers putty and make a little "pool" that the ducer will sit in. Fill that about half way with a slow cure liquid epoxy. You want to mix your epoxy slow not creating any bubbles. Set the ducer in the pool by kind of rolling it from one edge. This will eliminate trapping any bubbles and the slow cure will allow the bubbles to dissipate before it cures.

    Also some epoxies contain metal or other fillers. Thats why I like a clear liquid epoxy.
