Installation
All copper base antifouling paints are unsatisfactory and will prevent normal operation. If fouling does
occur, use a stiff brush or putty knife to remove growth. Be careful not to gouge the face of the
Transducer. Occasional wet sanding of the transducer face is permissible with #220 grit or finer wet or
dry paper.
Do not use solvents to clean your transducer. The high impact polycarbonate housing is very durable
but solvents will destroy it. Keep acetone, MEK, lacquer thinner and most other thinner/solvents away
from your transducer.
Through-hull Transducers
Through-hull transducers are recommended for in-boards and other vessels with disturbed water flow
under the transom. JRC offers several models of bronze through-hull transducers. To enjoy the full
capability of your Sonar, select a dual frequency model with temperature sensor. Sturdy bronze
construction assures a secure installation and provides a strong base for fairing blocks, if needed, to
compensate for hull shape.
The transducer should be installed in a location free of bubbles and away from disturbed water flow.
Smooth water flow around the transducer and along its surface is very important for consistent
operation.
Areas in the center third of water line length at cruising speed are usually satisfactory.
Locations forward of the engine and in a flat area near the center line of the boat are preferred. Do not
install the transducer behind water intakes, other through-hull fittings or irregularities in the hull.
