6.4.  TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION

1.  Apply a thick layer of marine sealant to the TOP of the transducer that will contact the 

fairing. 

2.  Guide the transducer cable trough the WASSP gland. Before guiding the transducer 

into place, apply marine sealant between the gland pipe and the transducer cable and 
push the sealant into the gap. 

3.  Guide the transducer in its position against the fairing. Make sure the side of the 

Wideband Fairing Transducer 90-190kHz cable is forward. 

4.  Apply a washer and nylon locking nut to bolt threaded rods not exceeding 30N-

m. Make sure that the threaded rod protrudes at least 3mm from the nut but does 
protrude the transducer face. This is so that it will not cause aeration when sealed off.

5.  Fill the bolt holes on the face of the transducer ensuring that they are sealed and 

flush, consider the product(s) used as it will need to be removed for the transducer to 
be removed.

6.  Remove any excess marine sealant when marine sealant has dried up.

7.  Apply a non solvent based anti-fouling that covers the transducer face, housing and 

fairing.

Finish locking the WASSP gland from step 8 onwards in chapter 7.2
