Transducer Antifouling

[abl1111]

Found this online --- From Garmin:

In certain environments, namely salt water, Garmin recommends painting the transducer with a water based, anti-fouling paint.

Anti-fouling paint helps to hinder marine growth and maintain transducer performance. This also helps in boat maintenance by lowering the costs associated with hauling a boat for cleaning.

Garmin recommends only using a water based, anti-fouling paint. Ketone-based paints should never be used. Ketone-based paints can weaken many plastics and possibly damage the transducer.

Please note: Garmin does not recommend painting the paddlewheel portion or any moving parts of a transducer as this can cause restriction.
