1.1.2 Shortening the retraction tank

Shorten the tank as necessary so that the transducer positions well below the keel when it is
fully lowered. The following table provides guidelines for shortening the tank. Refer also to
the retraction tank installation drawing at the back of this manual.

Guidelines for shortening the retraction tank

Note 1: The transducer will lower to mid-protrusion (500/800 mm stroke) if the tank is not

shortened. However, if it is shortened more than 50 mm, the transducer cannot be
completely retracted.

Note 2: When maximum length is removed and “D” is minimum, the effect of air foam is

minimized because the transducer fully protrudes in water.
