Soundome Painting

When the soundome is painted to keep marine life off the transducer, observe
the following precautions:

• Use only anti-fouling paint type MARINE STAR 20 (Manufacturer: Chugoku

Marine Paint Co., Ltd., Japan).

• Paint only the plastic portion of the dome. Painting the metal parts causes cor-

rosion.
