Product overview The RealVision™ thru-hull transducer High speed nose cone (Part number: A80702) has been designed to improve the performance of the RealVision™ 3D range of sonar transducers. The High speed nose cone should be used as part of the initial transducer installation. Important: •...
Compatible Transducers The High speed nose cone can be used with the following transducers: RV-2xx: • RV-200 RealVision™ 3D bronze 0° thru-hull all-in-one transducer (Part number: A80465) • RV-212P and RV-212S RealVision™ 3D bronze 12° thru-hull split-pair transducers (System pack part number: T70318) –...
Transducer mounting The mounting procedure below should be read thoroughly before attempting to mount the transducer. Important: • The RV-4xx series transducers are recommended for vessels with metal hulls. When installing, ensure that the transducer is isolated from the metal hull using ALL of the supplied isolator parts. •...

21. Place the small internal isolator sleeve over the anti-rotation bolt, ensuring it sits flush on the interior of the hull. 22.If necessary, apply additional marine-grade sealant to the anti-rotation bolt, above the small internal isolator sleeve. 23. Place the small washer over the anti-rotation bolt. 24.
