Checking for Leaks
When the boat is placed in the water, immediately check around
the transducer for leaks. Note that very small leaks may not be
readily observed. Do not leave the boat in the water for more than
3 hours before checking it again. If a leak is observed, repeat the
installation procedures immediately.
Maintenance, Parts, & Replacement
Anti-fouling Paint
Surfaces exposed to salt water must be coated with anti-fouling
paint. Use water-based anti-fouling paint only. Never use ketone
based anti-fouling paint, since ketones can attack many plastics
possibly damaging the transducer. Reapply anti-fouling paint
every 6 months or at the beginning of each boating season.
Cleaning
Aquatic growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer’s
surface, reducing its performance within weeks. Clean the surface
with a Scotch-Brite® scour pad and mild household detergent,
being careful to avoid making scratches. If fouling is severe, lightly
wet sand it with fine grade wet/dry paper.
