Airmar StructureScan SS141L-TS Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

OWNER'S GUIDE
Thru-Hull Anti-rotation Hardware
with
StructureScan
Model:
Follow the precautions below for optimal
product performance and to reduce the risk of
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING: Installation of the anti-rotation studs/screws
is mandatory! The anti-rotation studs/screws hold the fairing
firmly in place. Failure to install the anti-rotation studs/screws
may result in the fairing rotating while the boat is underway.
The effect may be violent movement and loss of steering.
WARNING: The transducer must be installed parallel to
the keel/centerline to ensure proper boat handling and
water flow under the transducer.
WARNING: Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask,
and ear protection when installing.
WARNING: Immediately check for leaks when the boat is
placed in the water. Do not leave the boat in the water
unchecked for more than three hours. Even a small leak
may allow a considerable amount of water to accumulate.
WARNING: SS141L-TS with Fairing—The fairing must
be screwed to a block of wood before cutting. It is too thin
to cut safely without additional material. Failure to do so
may result in the fairing moving on the band saw.
WARNING: Fairing—Do not install a fairing that has
been mis-cut. Replace it.
• Cutting the fairing at an angle greater than the
maximum allowed will cut into the transducer and/or
anti-rotation pockets, thus weakening the fairing.
• Do not allow any gap between the fairing and the hull
that is greater than 1.5mm (1/16"). When the boat is
underway, water will enter any gaps and push against
the fairing with considerable force, possibly rotating it.
WARNING: Fiberglass hull—The transducer must be
installed in solid fiberglass, not in coring.
CAUTION: Never install a metal transducer on a vessel
with a positive ground system.
CAUTION: Never pull, carry, or hold the transducer by
the cable as this may sever internal connections.
CAUTION: Never strike the transducer.

CAUTION: Stainless steel transducer in a metal hull—
Stainless steel must be isolated from a metal hull to
prevent electrolytic corrosion. Use the isolation sleeving
supplied.
CAUTION: Never use solvents. Cleaner, fuel, sealant,
paint, and other products may contain solvents that can
damage plastic parts, especially the transducer's face.
IMPORTANT: Read the instructions completely before
proceeding with the installation. These instructions
supersede any other instructions in your instrument
manual if they differ.
Applications
• Stainless steel is compatible with all hull materials. Recommended
for aluminum hulls to prevent electrolytic corrosion, provided the
stainless steel transducer is isolated from the metal hull.
• Recommended for boats capable of speeds up to 30kn
(35MPH). Optimal speed is 1.5 - 8.5 kn (2 - 10MPH).
• A fairing is strongly recommended if the deadrise angle of the
hull exceeds 10°. The fairing can accommodate a deadrise
angle of up to 22°.
