7.1 Warnings and cautions
Important:
Before proceeding, ensure that you have read and understood the
warnings and cautions provided in the following section of this document:
p.7 — Important information
7.2 Tools required
The following tools are required to install your transducer.
1.
Power drill
2. 2 x 14 mm (9/16") wrenches or small adjustable wrenches.
3. Pozi-drive screw driver
4. Drill bit (suitable for pilot holes)
Note: The size of the drill bit required should be suitable for the fixings
screws and the material and thickness of the mounting surface. Please
refer to the parts supplied list for the fixing screws provided.
Installation
5. Marine-grade neutral cure polyurethane sealant (non-acetate and
non-silicone based)
6. 25 mm (1 inch) Hole saw (only required if you are routing the cable
through the transom and / or a bulkhead.)
7.
Masking or Adhesive tape (Used to fix the mounting template to the
mounting surface)
Warning: Marine-grade sealant
Only use marine-grade neutral cure polyurethane sealants.
Do NOT use sealants containing acetate or silicone, which can
cause damage to plastic parts.
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 ketone-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.
