WARNING
Any electrical faults or breakdowns should be attended to only by a fully
qualified electrician.
NOTE
If at any time the batteries should become rim down steps must be taken to
reduce the load on the batteries by switching off any unnecessary
equipment, in particular the Godwin water pump. The switch for the
Godwin pump can also be found on the main fuse panel.

3. ECHO SOUNDER
The Seafarer Mk. III Echo Sounder consists of an instrument head mounted
above the saloon steering position.
The instrument is connected to a transducer sending unit.
The transducer is of the through-hull sending type mounted inside the hull
in a tube. It can therefore be removed without slipping the vessel.
For details see manufacturers literature supplied with this manual.
The manufacturer of Seafarer Echo Sounder is:-
Electronic Laboratories Ltd.,
For address see page S1
The transducer is fitted in front of the port or starboard engine. If an extra
Echo Sounder is fitted on the bridge steering position, the transducer will be
situated in front of the starboard engine.
4. CATHODIC PROTECTION
To prevent electrochemical corrosion between unlike metals, in particular
bronze sterngear, two sacrificial zinc anodes are attached to the outside of
the hull. The port engine, stuffing box, ‘A’ brackets and rudder are connected
by copper wire to the port anode and starboard equipment to the starboard
anode.
The anodes should be replaced when worn down. The rate of corrosion of the
anodes is unpredictable and depends on many variables such as area of
operation and water temp., but it should not be less than 12-18 months.
Access
The anode terminals can be reached by lifting the forward floor hatch in the
aft cabin.
