Airmar T42 Temperature Sensor—Analog - Manual (Page 3)

Maintenance & Replacement
Aquatic growth can accumulate rapidly on the sensor’s surface
reducing its performance within weeks. Clean the surface with a
Scotch-Brite® scour pad and mild household detergent taking
care to avoid making scratches. If the fouling is severe, lightly wet
sand with fine grade wet/dry paper.
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 paint since ketones can attack many plastics possibly
damaging the sensor. Reapply anti-fouling paint every 6 months
or at the beginning of each boating season.
