marinheiro 352 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 When installing new log and depth sounder transducers (both Airmar OEM) I noted they came covered with warnings that they were not to be painted with Ketone (oil) based antifouling, only water based. Given that water based antifouling is rather scarce in NZ, and only in 4L tins, interested to hear people's experience/views Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Assuming my plastic transducers are Airmar (they were Raymarine supplied) and Pettit Vivid antifouling is Ketone based (its definitely not water-based), then I've been painting them for years and never had a problem. Id be very surprised if anyone specifically uses water-based antifoul on their transducers, but I've been wrong before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
