transducer:

Notes:

(1)  

To ensure proper alignment and a secure fit, many thru-hull transducers 

require a fairing for installation. In addition to improving sounder perfor-
mance at all speeds, the fairing allows better fitting to the hull and dramat-
ically increases the sealing surface.

This information was current as of the date this handbook was printed.
