Description
Fairings orient the sound beam straight down by mounting the transducer parallel to the water surface and help to reduce turbulence. Transducers designed for use with a fairing must always have the fairing installed. Fairings should be cut to allow for hull deadrise and the removed top section should be installed inside the hull.
