2.2. Transducer Mounting & Sealing
The StarFish transducers should be mounted onto the hull of the vehicle (or subsea platform) using 2

M4 fixings,
with centres 381mm apart as shown in the diagram below.
For best acoustic performance, the transducers should be mounted such that they are angled 30° down from the
horizontal plane, as shown:
To ensure a waterproof connection, the cable boss protruding from the rear of the transducer is fitted with two
18.0mm
 2.6mm  O-rings. These should be greased with a small amount of suitable silicone lubricant and
inserted into a suitable machined hole on the mounting housing that ensures a waterproof piston-seal.
Alternately, a waterproof glad may be used to seal onto the cables that are potted into the rear of the transducer
housings.
