The Fairing block

The transducer must be mounted as parallel to the water surface as possible.

For hulls with a dead rise angle, the fairing block should be used to compensate for the dead rise angle.

A Vessels with a dead rise angle >10^
B Vessels with dead rise angle < 10^
C Minimum fairing thickness = 12 mm (0.5")

Mounting location (guidelines only)

The transducer will not work while it is out of the water, ensure that it is in contact with the water at all speeds. The transducer must be mounted in an area that provides smooth non-turbulent water flow, unobstructed by keel or propeller shafts. On single-drive vessels, if the propeller is turning clockwise, mount the transducer on the starboard side. If the propeller is turning counterclockwise mount the transducer on the port side. On twin-drive vessels, mount the transducer between the drives.

Displacement hull powerboat

Stepped hull

Mount just in front of the first step and and between the centerline and the first set of lifting strakes.

Planing hull, outboard and stern-drive

Mount well aft, and between the centerline and the first set of lifting strakes.

Planing hull, inboard

Mount well ahead of the propeller(s) and shaft(s), and between the centerline and the first set of lifting strakes.

Full keel sailboat

Mount in front of the keel at the point of minimum deadrise angle and close to the centerline.

Fin keel sailboat

Mount to the side of the centerline and 300 - 600 mm (12 - 24") in front of the keel.

Cutting the fairing block

1 Attach the fairing block to a piece of wood using wood screws (not included).

Cut the fairing block.3

Installation

1 Mark the holes on the outside of the hull using the mounting template.

3 Screw the M8 studs into the transducer. Metal hulls only, install the isolator sleeves over the studs.

5 Use sand paper to remove all burrs and sharp edges to smooth the installation surface.

7 Apply marine grade sealant or epoxy to the sanded surfaces and to the mating edges of the fairing block. Install the upper part of the fairing block from the inside of the boat.

Drill the holes.2

4 Metal hulls only, make sure that the isolatorsleeves will cover the contact area between the hull and the studs. Use a heatgun to shrink the isolator sleeves in place.

6 Apply marine grade sealant or epoxy to the sanded surfaces and to the mating edges of the fairing block. Push the transducer through the lower part of the fairing block, and press the assembly through the holes in the boat.

8 Apply marine grade sealant or epoxy in and round the holes of the fairing block. Secure the assembly with the washers and the nuts.
