Finalizing The Transducer Mounting - Raymarine HYPERVISION HV-100 Installation Instructions Manual

Finalizing the transducer mounting

Once you have achieved optimum performance at the desired vessel speeds the transducer must be
locked into position to complete the installation.
1. Drill the locking hole location taking care not to damage the transom bracket.
2. Fill the locking hole with marine grade sealant.
3. Lock the transducer position by fully tightening all 3 transom bracket mounting screws.
4. Lock the transducer angle by tightening the mounting bolt; do not exceed a torque of 4 Nm (2.95
ft lb). The transducer should not be easily moveable by hand, and should remain in its normal
operating position when your vessel is underway.
Anti-fouling
Where local regulations allow, it is recommended that you coat your transducer using a water-based
anti-fouling paint. This will help prevent the build-up of organic growth, which can reduce transducer
performance.
Important:
• Before applying water-based anti-fouling paint, check that local environmental rules and
regulations do not prohibit the use of anti-fouling paint.
• Never use copper-based anti-fouling paint as this can impact transducer performance.
• Never use keytone-based anti-fouling paint as this can attack the transducer's plastic, damaging
the transducer.
• Paint your transducer using a brush, do not use a spray can or a sponge roller as these methods
can cause tiny air bubbles to be incorporated in the paint, which will also reduce transducer
performance.
