If it were me, I'd use 4200.
4200 and 5200 are essentially the same substance with one huge difference... 5200 contains a very powerful adhesive. If you don't ever plan to have to replace the item, you can use 5200.
But... electronic components do fail from time-to-time, so I would personally use 4200 for this job.

I don't trailer my boat so it will need to be pulled if I decide to install a thru hull transducer.....dry hole, coat with 4200. install.
How long before I could put the boat back in the water? Does the 4200 have to cure?
I've keep looking at shoot thru's but I'm confident this is the better way!
Thanks

No tools... hand tighten it initially so as not to squeeze out the 4200 and cause a dry joint. You want a bedding of material to act as a gasket. Once it cures, you should be fine. Some people snug it down the next morning, but others say that could cause you to break the seal. Personally, I'd go with the recommendations of Airmar.
Drop her in the water and keep an eye on the seal. If you see any moisture, then you can snug it down. Otherwise, enjoy!

If you use the fast cure product, you could put it back in the water after a couple of hours without a problem. Check the label for the product you are using (fast cure or regular) for guidance.
