Disassembling and Reassembling the Towfish

4-9

4.3.2 Reassembling the Towfish

To reassemble the towfish:

1.

Verify that the O-rings on both the forward and aft end caps are clean and free 
of dirt or scratches. Also use a lint-free cloth or paper towel to clean the 
O-ring surfaces inside the towfish housing and apply a 

light

 coat of silicone 

grease to these surfaces.
If dirt or scratches are present on an O-ring, replace it. When replacing an 
O-ring, first clean the O-ring surface inside the towfish housing and the 
O-ring groove in the end cap using a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and then 
apply a 

light

 coat of silicone grease to the O-ring before installing it.

2.

Insert the chassis into the aft end of the towfish housing, aligning the three 
locking screws with the three holes in the towfish housing.

3.

Loosen

 the three locking screws until the heads of the screws are flush with 

the outside surface of the housing.

4.

Connect the jumper cable to the connector on the aft end cap.

5.

Slide the tail cone into the towfish housing, aligning the locator pin under the 
tail cone with the slot in the housing and threading the tail cone retaining bolt 
into the aft end cap.

6.

Tighten the tail cone retaining bolt.

7.

Inspect the two connectors 
on the Transition board to 
ensure that there are no bent 
pins. The Transition board 
is shown in 

Figure 4-12.

8.

While aligning the three 
locking screws with the 
three holes in the towfish 
housing as shown in 
Figure 4-13 on page 4-10, 
carefully insert the forward 
end cap into the forward 
end of the towfish housing 
until it bottoms out.

9.

Loosen

 the three locking 

screws until the heads of 
the screws are flush with the outside surface of the housing.

10.

Connect the two transducer cables, matching the colors with the connectors on 
the forward end cap.
