Interesting. I used a piece of PVC pipe slightly larger than the sensor. I
cut the PVC at a slight angle, so it would sit flush against the side of the
bilge, then epoxied it in place so it would hold fluid. I put the sensor on
another piece of PVC with a small groove on it and the pipe so it would stay
in the right orientation, put in the oil, then put the sensor/piece combo
in, and put a cap on (unglued). The cap keeps the mineral oil from sloshing
out.

A number of people on the Tanzer list simply caulked glued the
transducer to the hull. Doesn't have to be straight up and down, just a
good, solid connection.
