3 Mount the hardware under the vessel’s hull.
Note
Make sure that the surface of the resulting installation is as smooth and streamlined
as possible. Mounting screws or bolts must not be extruding from the hull or from the
installation hardware. Make sure that the surface of the transducer face, the hull
plating and putty around the transducer is as even and smooth as possible. Obstructions
on these surfaces will create problems with turbulent flow, and may cause noise.
4 If relevant, allow the relevant maritime authority and/or classification society to inspect
and approve the design and installation.

Installing the cable gland
To secure the vessel’s watertight integrity, it is extremely important that the transducer cable
penetrates the ship’s hull in a safe manner. One suggested method is to use a cable gland.
The cable gland consists of a bushing, rubber gasket, washers and a packing nipple.
Prerequisites
Before you can install the bushing, the following prerequisites must be met:
• The transducer cable must be fitted with the rubber gasket, washers and packing nipple.
• The installation arrangement has been approved by the relevant authority.
• All relevant personnel (skilled shipyard workers, ships electricians) and relevant tools
must be available.
Context
These items are all provided as a part of the transducer delivery.
