Ensures the fairing remains firmly in place to prevent violent movement or loss of steering.
Install parallel to the keel for proper boat handling and water flow under the transducer.
Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and ear protection during installation.
Check for leaks within three hours of placing the boat in water.
Ensure proper cutting and fit of the fairing to prevent gaps and water ingress.
Specific warnings for fiberglass hulls and metal transducer installation.
Avoid solvents which can damage plastic parts, especially the transducer face.
Stainless steel is compatible with all hull materials; recommended for aluminum.
Suitable for speeds up to 30kn (35MPH), optimal speed is 1.5-8.5 kn (2-10MPH).
A fairing is recommended for hulls with deadrise angles exceeding 10°, accommodating up to 22°.
Do not mount near water intakes, discharge openings, or hull irregularities.
Avoid mounting locations susceptible to damage during trailering or launching.
Ensure smooth water flow with minimum bubbles and turbulence under the transducer.
Choose a location away from propellers, shafts, and other machinery or echosounders.
Choose a location with a minimal deadrise angle for optimal performance.
Guidelines for planing, outboard, inboard, stepped, and displacement hulls.
Detailed steps for shaping the fairing to match the hull using a band saw.
Drilling pilot holes and main holes for transducer and studs in cored fiberglass.
Drilling and preparing holes for transducer and studs in metal hulls.
Ensure all surfaces to be bedded are clean and dry before applying sealant.
Apply sealant to transducer, fairing, backing block, and hull nut contact surfaces.
Screw in anti-rotation studs, applying sealant and tightening with slip-joint pliers.
Use isolation sleeving for transducer stem and studs in metal hulls to prevent corrosion.
Secure hull nut and anti-rotation stud nuts using slip-joint pliers, avoid over-tightening.
Fill any gaps between fairing and hull with sealant; replace if gap exceeds 1.5mm.
Ensure smooth water flow by removing excess sealant from outside surfaces.
Cut and seal the core to prevent water seepage and hull crushing.
Use casting epoxy to reinforce the hull around the drilled holes for the transducer.
Route cable carefully, use grommets, and separate from electrical wiring to prevent damage.
Refer to module instructions for connecting the transducer to the LSS-2 or 3D module.
Immediately check for leaks and re-bed if any are found; do not leave unchecked for long.
Apply water-based anti-fouling paint every 6 months or seasonally to exposed surfaces.
Clean aquatic growth with a scour pad and detergent; lightly wet sand if fouling is severe.
Record information from the cable tag for ordering replacement parts.
