Was looking at the stern saver. Has anyone had good luck using these on an aluminum boat? Seems kind of iffy getting plastic and aluminum to glue together.

I've never used a stern saver. I just drilled it and used 5200 sealant and you couldn't get it to leak if you tried. I wish I learned about that sealant sooner.
If you're going to get the Garmin striker 4 at least get the 4cv since it has down imaging for only $160.

Stern saver has been fine on my aluminum boat. Just follow the instructions (sand and clean) before applying.
