The decision must be based on:
• The vessel drawings
• The shape and properties of the hull
Make sure that all possible considerations are made to reduce noise.
2 Based on the shape of the transducer housing, and the mounting devices available,
determine the installation method.
3 Design, manufacture and mount the necessary fairing, installation blister, keel box
and/or tank that is required to mount the transducer.
