Open manualFrequently Answers and Questions
Where is the best place to mount the transducer on a vessel?
The best location depends on the vessel's construction and hull shape, but general guidelines recommend mounting it deep, away from protruding objects, at the forward part of the hull, and far from propellers or bow thrusters to minimize noise and turbulence.
Why should the transducer be mounted deep on the hull?
Mounting the transducer deep helps avoid air bubbles in upper water layers, increases the cavitation threshold, prevents the transducer from being lifted out of the water, and reduces the risk of damage in heavy seas.
What are the guidelines for cleaning and maintaining the transducer face?
The transducer face should be cleaned for marine growth using normal synthetic soap and water, or fine-grade sandpaper. Avoid strong solvents, metallic tools, and high-pressure water. An approved anti-fouling paint may be applied.
Is it recommended to use a steel conduit for the transducer cable?
Yes, it is strongly recommended to lay a continuous, watertight steel conduit from the transducer's cable gland to the echo sounder transceiver to ease replacement, reduce noise and interference, and minimize flood risk.
