where to find part for 12' Sears Jon and fishfinder question

Hi, I was happy to find a gently used 12' Sears Jon yesterday at a
garage sale. It is in very good condition buy missing one handle on
the rear. The mount holes measure 6.75" apart. Any info is
appreciated!

Also, I picked up a Hummingbird Fish Finder. Another fisherman with
an aluminum Jon told me he epoxied the transducer to the hull. The
instructions mention doing that with a fiberglass hull but not
aluminum - any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Tim

PS: who made the Sears Jon Boats?

Have you inquired with Sears?

RE the transducer...do to fish finder and depth sounder functions work? Are
they accurate? If so, don't sweat it.
