I used a soft putty of some sort for testing locations. Putty will
not transmit is good as epoxy, so if it works for that it should be fine.

I wish I could remember exactly what it was, but at the time, we joked
so much about using peanut butter that that's all I can remember now.

How about just using peanut butter? g

If you didn't have roaches in the bilge before the test, I'm sure you'll
have them in the bilge a week AFTER!

Rats love peanut butter to death.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Ah! Now I remember! It was a baggy with a bit of mineral oil in it.
Put the transducer in the bag, "sealing" the top just by grabbing
the sensor, and just placing it wherever you want to test. The boat
stays clean, the sensor can be wiped off easily, so its pretty painless.

Glad I could help... g

Just heard that one of our guys is using toilet sealing wax. Probably
not as effective as epoxy or similar, but few of us care about reading
accurately to 900'...

Hopefully, he's using new wax.
