Maintenance
Testing the Installation
NOTICE
You should check your boat for leaks before you leave it in the
water for an extended period of time.
Because water is necessary to carry the sonar signal, the
transducer must be in the water to work properly. You cannot
get a depth or distance reading when out of the water. When
you place your boat in the water, check for leaks around any
screw holes that were added below the water line.
Anti-Fouling Paint
To prevent corrosion on metal hulls and to slow the growth of
organisms that can affect a vessel's performance and durability,
you should apply a water-based anti-fouling paint to the hull of
your vessel every six months.
NOTE:
Never apply ketone-based anti-fouling paint to your
vessel, because ketones attack many types of plastic and could
damage or destroy your transducer.
Cleaning the Transducer
Aquatic fouling accumulates quickly and can reduce your
device's performance.
1
Remove the fouling with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
2
If the fouling is severe, use a scouring pad or putty knife to
remove growth.
3
Wipe the device dry.
