Context
A Lower part of transducer shaft
B Transducer with its red protective coating
The transducer is covered with a thick red protective coating made of
a special plastic type. The red protective coating is an vital part of the
transducer. It is very important that neither this coating nor the internal
parts of the transducer are damaged during the handling, installation
or cleaning. Any holes and/or scratches in the transducer surface will
allow water to penetrate the transducer. If a leak occurs, the transducer
must be replaced.
Procedure
1 Lower the transducer using the hand crank.
a Locate the hand crank inside the Motor Control Unit.
b Remove the hand crank from its storage position.
c Remove the plastic plug on the top cover of the hull unit.
d Mount the hand crank onto the stub shaft through the hole in the top cover.

2 Do a thorough visual inspection of the transducer.
Check for dents, scratches, holes or other damage to the surface.
Note
It is very important that neither this coating nor the internal parts of the transducer
are damaged during the handling, installation or cleaning. Any holes and/or
scratches in the transducer surface will allow water to penetrate the transducer. If
a leak occurs, the transducer must be replaced.
