Marcus,
Getting a long term vacuum seal on any device like this greatly depends on the quality of the finish of the surface it's sucking on. If your boat has pristine gel coat then maybe but even then I'd be skeptical. When they showed it holding an EPRIB they lost a healthy dose of credibility with me. Who would even consider that? You last best chance of an offshore rescue falls overboard as a result of a suction cup letting go. Or you have a great 3 day sail and wind up in handcuffs because your auto EPRIB deployed two days ago causing a massive rescue effort. The USCG doesn't take kindly to a false mayday report.

They make high pressure suction cup mounts for marine and fishing applications. Very impressive product from the images and videos. I have my eye on the suction cup transducer mount. I'm not looking to drill holes in my C27, but would love to start using a fish finder when they are biting. Now I can mount the transducer only when I need it and the hull remains intact. What do all of you think about this? Any experiences? Marcus
