8 Maintenance

8.1Antifouling Paint

Surfaces exposed to salt water must be coated with anti-fouling paint. Use water- based antifouling paint only. Never use ketone based antifouling paint, since ketones can attack many plastics possibly damaging the transducer. Apply antifouling paint every 6 months or at the beginning of each boating season.

8.2Cleaning

Aquatic growth can accumulate rapidly on the transducer’s surface, reducing its performance within weeks. Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild household detergent. If the fouling is severe, use a stiff brush or putty knife to remove the growth taking care to avoid making scratches. Wet sanding is permissible with fine grade wet/dry paper.
