The trick to get the starboard to stick to the transom, as nothing will stick to the starboard, is use a dovetail bit in a router. Rout a couple grooves in the starboard face that will go up against the hull, doesn't need to be very deep. The 4200 should fill these grooves and also on the face of the gelcoat. This helps prevent the starboard from tearing off. Check with Paul D. on this method as he's a big proponent of it.
I'm afraid that if it pulls off at speed things will be flying hard and fast.
Neat idea!!! Learn something new every day.
I found a thread on stripers online talking about the same techniques to fasten fly rod holders.

Boat Rod holder - SurfTalk

for a transducer, I would be afraid of that thing flying off at speed though.
One guy packed the dovetail groves with Marine Tex, then used the 5200 to stick it to the inside of the hull.

Anyone got pics or want to go into further detail about this technique???
