Transducers are delicateΒΆ

When mounting the transducers on the rosette frame, put a piece of dense foam under the transducers. The BB150 instrument, especially, weighs enough that the transducers may be damaged if the instrument rests on them without any padding. A good piece of foam is one of the pieces from the shipping container). The foam in the BB150 gray shipping box is good for this.

For the BB150, use a piece of PVC pipe that is cut to fit between the transducers down in the nether regions of the instrument. This protects the transducers if the instrument were to slip in the brackets (eg. during a drop on deck from several feet).
