6.3 Re-applying anti-fouling paint
If you have applied anti-fouling paint to your transducer, it is important to re-apply it at least every
6 months, to maintain effectiveness.
Follow the instructions below to re-apply anti-fouling paint.
Important:
• Following environmental best practice, preparation and re-application of the anti-fouling paint
should be performed using suitable washdown facilities, which ensures paint particles do not
enter the water and impact aquatic life.
• Take care not to scratch the transducer face, as this may impact transducer performance.
1. Remove your vessel from the water.
2. Clean your transducer, ensuring all organic growth is removed.
3. Remove any flaking anti-foul paint.
4. Use a soft dry cloth to remove any loose bits of paint.
5. Re-apply a water-based anti-fouling paint.
