Transducer cleaning

You must clean your transducer regularly to remove organic growth. Organic
growth can build up quickly on the bottom face of your transducer; this can
impact transducer performance in a matter of weeks.
Important:
• When cleaning growth from an anti-fouled transducer, take care not
to let paint dust and other debris enter the water, as this can have an
impact on aquatic life.
• Take care not to scratch the surface of the transducer as this can impact
transducer performance.
• Do NOT use harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone as this will damage
the transducer.
Follow the guidance below to clean growth from your transducer:
• Use a soft cloth and a mild household cleaning detergent to clean mild
growth build up.
• Use a scouring pad, such as a green Scotch Brite™ pad and a mild
household cleaning detergent to clean moderate growth build up.
• You may need to use a fine grade wet and dry paper and a mild household
cleaning detergent to clean severe build up.
