Fitting – Cable to transducer

 

Once the epoxy resin has fully cured (approx 24 Hours) you will be able to unscrew the transducer from the 
ring. This should be possible by hand only. 

If however you are unable to loosen the transducer by hand you may need to give the transducer a slight 
tap with a mallet to loosen any epoxy resin excess. 

EXCESS FORCE IS NOT REQUIRED TO REMOVE THE 

TRANSDUCER. IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS PLEASE CONTACT US FOR FURTHER ADVICE. 

Apply a small amount of silicon grease to the face of the transducer. You will only need a light skin approx 
1mm thick. The silicon grease is used to aid acoustic coupling of the transducer unit to your boats hull. 

Too 

much grease will decrease the effectiveness of the unit. 

 

Screw the transducer into the ring until hand tight. 

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE TRANSDUCER AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE EPOXY TO CRACK AND WILL 
DECREASE THE EFFECTIVENSS OF THE UNIT. 

Please note that after approximately 24hrs of running the silicon will have settled and your transducers may 
need a further ¼ turn to ensure they are tight to the hull. If the transducers are not tight they will not be 
acting at maximum efficiency.
