Follow the manufacturer's instructions,
using the packaged hardware. Too easy.

self tapper ss. pre drilled hole. countersink. and lots of silicone... we dont want anyones transom to rot or gelcoat to crack

 

[Un-shore]

trim tabs- predrilled countersunk to avoid gel coat cracking, SS bolts and nylock nuts on the tab hinge. SS screws in predrilled/countersunk holes for the actuator boss

transducer- SS screws in predrilled/countersunk holes

I have had some previous success with 3M5200 'ing a block of Corion/cutting board/star?? solid material to the exterior of the transom. I then drilled and mounted the T'ducer into it. No holes in the transom.

I made the block oversize so I could change out the mounting or put on another one if the original unit broke.

Didn't come off for years...and then I sold the boat. regards, Rich

p.s. Kitchen counter shops often have cutoff pieces or sink cutouts that are free or at little cost.
