After 90+ days in the water, my transducer on my charter boat gets really crusted. And I've always wondered and been concern about how or if I could/should clean and or sand smooth the pits and other debris attached to it, and not loose any signaling powers of the unit. I found the answer on Lowrances support page. 29 Results Found in All Topics Question: How do I clean my transducer?

Oil, dirt, and fuel can cause a film to form on the transducer, reducing its effectiveness.
