TotalScan Fairing Block Only

The Navico TotalScan fairing block (part number 000-14260-001) is an accessory designed specifically for the TotalScan M/H (Medium/High CHIRP) and L/H (Low/High CHIRP) through-hull transducers. Its purpose is to optimize the performance of your sonar system at sea.

A fairing block minimizes water turbulence around the transducer, resulting in clearer and more accurate sonar readings. It provides hydrodynamic integration of the transducer with the boat hull, reducing water flow disturbances.

This fairing block is specifically designed for Navico/Lowrance TotalScan M/H (Medium/High CHIRP) and L/H (Low/High CHIRP) through-hull transducers.

No, the "TotalScan Fairing Block Only" product (reference 000-14260-001) is sold separately as an essential accessory and is not included with the TotalScan transducer.

The Navico TotalScan fairing block weighs approximately 0.4 kg.

Although not mandatory, using a fairing block is highly recommended for through-hull transducers to optimize performance by reducing turbulence and protecting the transducer, thus enabling more reliable readings.

By reducing water flow disturbances around the transducer, the fairing block improves image quality for fish detection and underwater structure analysis. It ensures optimal performance of the fishfinder, even at higher cruising speeds.

Yes, this fairing block is built to withstand harsh marine conditions, ensuring adequate durability and protection for the transducer over time.

The fairing block is designed for through-hull installation. Compatibility with different hull materials (fiberglass, wood, aluminum) will depend on specific installation procedures and the use of appropriate sealing and insulation products, which are not supplied with the block.

Yes, as this is a through-hull transducer accessory, installation requires drilling the boat's hull to allow the transducer to pass through and to secure the fairing block.

No, this fairing block is specifically designed for Navico/Lowrance TotalScan M/H and L/H through-hull transducers. Compatibility with transducers from other brands is not guaranteed and not recommended.

The benefits include:

Significant drag reduction. Improved sonar signal quality at high speeds due to turbulence minimization. Enhanced physical protection of the transducer. Optimal hydrodynamic integration with the hull.

This fairing block is specifically compatible with TotalScan M/H and L/H through-hull transducers. It is not designed for transom-mounted TotalScan transducers or other types of transducers.

The "TotalScan Fairing Block Only" product includes only the fairing block. The hull-specific mounting hardware (screws, bolts, sealant, etc.) is not included and must be purchased separately based on hull type and installation requirements.

Yes, by minimizing water turbulence around the transducer, the fairing block promotes optimal operation and helps maintain a stable and clear sonar signal, even when the boat is sailing at higher speeds.

Yes, by ensuring a flush or semi-flush integration with the hull, the fairing block provides additional physical protection to the transducer against potential impacts and debris in the water.

Yes, the hydrodynamic design of the fairing block is specifically engineered to minimize drag and water flow disturbances, which can contribute to improved boat efficiency.

For installation on a wooden hull, it is crucial to use appropriate marine sealants to prevent water ingress. It is also recommended to consult a professional to ensure the installation is carried out safely and durably.

No, this fairing block is exclusively designed for TotalScan M/H and L/H through-hull transducers. It is not compatible with StructureScan HD or StructureScan 3D transducers.

The fairing block is shaped to fit the hull’s contour and that of the transducer. This design creates a smooth surface that minimizes turbulence and water resistance, allowing the transducer to operate in a calmer water environment and optimize sonar signal transmission and reception.
