I have a newer Helix 5 DI GPS on my aluminum boat, but the transducer is mounted on the transom.

I like idea of using silicone as opposed to using Weldwood that Joe Hyde used. I would think it would be a lot easier to remove from fiberglass it it became necessary. Never thought about using a plastic cup. Probably could also use a piece of pvc pipe also.
