4 Mount the optional support bar.
The support bar can be secured to the mounting ring using threaded rods.
5 When the transducer has been fastened, inspect the plating around the transducer face.
a Fill the space around the mounting bolts with a a suitable filling compound (putty).
b Make sure that the surface of the transducer face, as well as the plating and putty
around the transducer is as even and smooth as possible.
c Verify that there are no spatter, sharp edges or protruding objects. If necessary,
grind and polish all surfaces.
Objects protruding from the hull will generate turbulence and flow noise. This will
reduce the overall performance of your system. Protruding objects may be zinc anodes,
transducers or even the vessel's keel. Holes and pipe outlets are also important noise
sources, as well as rough surfaces caused by bad welding. Even traces of sealing
compound, sharp edges, bolts or empty bolt holes will create noise.
6 If required, allow the relevant maritime authority and/or classification society to inspect
and approve the transducer installation.

Painting the transducer face
Marine growth (biological fouling) on the transducer face reduces the performance. We
recommend that you paint the transducer face immediately after installation, and then again
as often as required to maintain the protection.
