Distribution Box - Furuno FE-700 Installation Manual

7. It is recommended to enclose the transducer cable in a conduit pipe for waterproofness
and electrical shielding as well as for protecting the cable from mechanical damage.
The conduit pipe should be fixed to the flange on the transducer tank. The pipe should
be of such a length to clear the water level when the ship is fully loaded. The pipe end
should be finished with filling compound. It is recommended to fill the pipe with sand
between the transducer and the junction box (or matching box). This will protect the
transducer from vibration and damage.
