Channel Master Operation Manual
P/N 95B-6001-00 (January 2005) page 33
If using antifouling grease, remove the grease immediately after recovering
the Channel Master from its deployment. Remove the grease with soapy
water. Be sure to wear protective gloves and a face shield.
CAUTION.
1. Do not arbitrarily use antifouling grease for every application. When
barnacles are a threat to the transducer faces; using antifouling grease
may be appropriate if you cannot clean the Channel Master regularly
(weekly). If using antifouling grease, remove it immediately after
recovering the Channel Master.
2. Antifouling grease is toxic. Read the product safety data sheet before
using the grease. Wear gloves and a face shield when applying the
grease. If the skin comes in contact with the grease, immediately
wash the affected area with warm, soapy water.
3. All U.S. coastal states prohibit the use of tributyl-tins on boat hulls.
The European Economic Commission has released a draft directive
that would prohibit the use of many organo-tins after July 1989. We
strongly recommend you obey your local laws.
8.9.2 Recommended Antifouling Paints
The plastic Channel Master housing simplifies anti-fouling paint applica-
tion. You can use almost any EPA approved anti-fouling paint on the hous-
ing or the urethane transducer faces. You do have to be extra careful with
the urethane faces. We recommend the TRILUX II paint from Interlux.
