[CA] [CA11] Transducer Maintenance in Saltwater

[jaccoo]

Hello - My A80464 RealVision Transducer Transom has grown substantial Barnacle/marine growth over the past month. This growth causes the MFD Pro to lose bottom contact and is unable to read the depth and update sonar charts.

Can you please help with the following topics

1. Best way to clean transducer while boat is in the water

2. optimal transducer maintenance to prevent future growth while in the water

3. can i treat the transducer with anything when i have the boat on trailer

Many Thanks
