    I believe the one labeled "Airmar" is the Faria dash mounted depthfinder transducer.  That's what I have in my boat.  My Lowrance/Structure Scan transducers are mounted on my transom.

    OK then obviously the Lowrance ducer has become dislodged from its mount, thoughts on re-securing the little guy? Sorry, I'm a newbie and completely uninformed about marine ops but willing to learn.

    Yes, you can see the imprint of the shape of the base of the transducer on the epoxy it was originally set on.  You may try re-applying epoxy to the base of the unit and put it back in it's location.

    Attached is a copy of the "Shoot-thru-the-Hull" transducer instructions that came with my HDS7 unit that might help.

    I have attached transducers to the hull bottom with an epoxy product called "MarineTex" (I think that's the spelling). Be sure to avoid air bubbles, the transducer can't "see" through them. When you mix the epoxy it tends to form air bubbles, use a heat gun to pop them while the epoxy is still liquid. Read all the stuff in cjjjdeck's post above.
