NorCross Marine Products Inc. DF1000T User Manual

FIGURE 10C
If the hull surface is not smooth, grind it with a disc
sander. Partially fill a thin plastic bag with water, place the
transducer inside and close it tightly with a tie wrap. Wet
the surface of the hull and press the transducer face
against it through the bag (Figure 20 C).

Hard adhesives, transmit sound best, but winter tempera-
ture extremes and flexing on trailer rollers can cause it to
delaminate. However, soft adhesives absorb sound. To
compromise, use a viscous slow-cure epoxy or a fairly
rigid, one part adhesive sealant. In cold climates, a one-
part polyurethane adhesive, such as Boat-Life’s Life Seal‚
may be best. Do not use “5 minute” epoxies because they
are generally brittle. RTV (silicone) adhesives are not rec-

ommended because most of the sound energy is lost.

1.  All surfaces to be bonded must be smooth, clean

and dry. If the surface is rough, use a disk sander to
smooth an area a little larger in diameter than the
length of the transducer.
