What consumers should do
Discontinue use until the plastic support is replaced.
Replacement procedure:
An Airmar representative will check the serial number and date code of the transducer to verify that it is affected.

(a) A replacement plastic support will be shipped directly to you. Remove and destroy the original plastic support.
2. Product already installed
(a) A modified plastic support will be shipped directly to you. There is an added cable channel in the modified support so the cable does not need to be re-routed through the boat.
