Transducer Cleaning - Raymarine Dragonfly 6 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

10.3 Transducer cleaning

Growth can collect on the bottom of the transducer,
this can reduce performance. To prevent the build
up of sea growth, coat the transducer with a thin
layer of water based antifouling paint, available from
your local marine dealer. Reapply paint every 6
months or at the beginning of each boating season.
Certain smart transducers have restrictions on where
antifouling paint is applied. Please consult your
dealer.
Note: Transducers with a temperature sensor may
not work properly if painted.
Note: Never use ketone based paint. Ketones
can attack many plastics possibly damaging the
sensor.
Note: Never use spray paint on your transducer.
Spraying incorporates tiny air bubbles, and a
marine transducer cannot transmit properly
through air.
Use a soft cloth and mild household detergent to
clean the transducer. If the fouling is severe, remove
the growth with a green scotch brite
careful to avoid scratching the transducers face.
If your transducer has a paddlewheel you can wet
sand with fine grade wet/dry paper.
Note: Harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone
may damage the transducer.
