I did a temporary installation of a twin-frequency transducer using a block of moulded plasticine 3 years ago, and haven't bothered to make this permanent yet.

 

Permanent installations involve either glassing/epoxying them in, or using an oil bath for full immersion contact. I haven't had the urge to try either.

 

Avoid silicon sealant etc, as it's so soft it absorbs the vibrations, allegedly, and you get a very poor echo.
