The problem may be that the rivets are fatigued and just putting a sealer on it may not give you a solution but more headaches. As another boater suggested doing new rivets is simpler than you think. I would remove the old rivets in the affected area, seal the seam and pop new rivets in...again...

The answer to using an old transducer is... No. Probably a dual-frequency sounder & nowadays use a multiplexed dual frequency system, which means you'll need to replace your old transducer. It's always a good idea to replace an old transducer anyway since transducers get weaker as they get...
