slightly to squeeze out excess sealant. Care-
fully confirm that the transducer is aligned
so that the blunt rounded end (the front) is
pointed directly toward the front of the boat.
6) Install and tighten bronze hex nut (allow for
swelling in wooden hulls).
Do not over-tighten
nut - especially if a wooden fairing block is
used as it will expand in water.
7) Remove excess sealant from the outside to as-
sure smooth water flow over the transducer.

WARNING
Wood hulls and fairing blocks will expand
after the boat is put back into the water, so it is
important that the transducer be only hand-
tightened until the wood fully expands.
Otherwise the wood fairing block may crack.
WARNING
Be sure to check for leaks when the boat is
placed in the water. Allow at least 24 hours
after installation for any leak to appear.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If the boat is kept in saltwater it is
recommended that the transducer be coated
with an anti-fouling paint.
USE ONLY
WATER BASED ANTI-FOULING PAINT.
DO NOT USE KETONE-BASED PAINTS.
Ketone-based anti-fouling paint will attack the
plastic materials used in the transducer.
