Castor oil most common, although olive oil will also do.

Castor oil is what Seafarer recommended in their day. It is what is in mine. Never needed topping up in thirty years!

Olive oil can solidify in cold weather. Use Castor oil or Johnson's Baby Oil or Silicon Oil.

No, you're all wrong. You need marine grade transducer oil. It's £50 a litre but nothing else will do /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I used Johnson baby oil 3 years ago and still works perfectly, and leaves your hands smelling beautiful afterwards.

I was advised by everyone at the yard to use Castor Oil. But, I cannot get the transducer out of the hull fitting. My concern is the shape of the face of the transducer and is it capable of trapping a bubble?
