Navico StructureScan 3D karüünplokk

The StructureScan 3D fairing block is an accessory designed to optimize the performance of standard StructureScan 3D through-hull transducers. It improves water flow around the transducer, resulting in more accurate sonar readings, particularly at high speeds.

This fairing block has dimensions of 2 inches in height (H), 5 inches in width (W) and 15 inches in length (L). This corresponds to approximately 5.08 cm x 12.7 cm x 38.1 cm.

The StructureScan 3D fairing block weighs 1.4 lb, which is approximately 0.63 kg.

Using this fairing block provides several advantages:

It reduces hydrodynamic drag. It enables more accurate depth readings at high speeds. It improves the quality of underwater images from the StructureScan 3D system at high speed. It optimizes water flow around the transducer.

This fairlead block is manufactured by Navico, a global leader in marine technology.

Yes, this fairing block is built with durable construction to ensure reliable and optimal performance in the marine environment, resistant to harsh conditions.

No, the StructureScan 3D fairing block is a separately sold accessory. It is designed to be used with an existing or separately purchased standard StructureScan 3D through-hull transducer.

The reference (SKU) for this fairing block is 000-13581-001.

Its primary function is to improve performance at high speed by optimizing water flow around the transducer, thereby reducing drag and enabling more accurate readings and clear images even when the boat is moving quickly.

This fairing block is exclusively compatible with standard StructureScan 3D through-hull transducers.

No, this fairing block is not suitable for StructureScan 3D and CHIRP combined transducers. These require a dedicated fairing block.

This fairing block is specifically designed and sized for standard StructureScan 3D through-hull transducers. Compatibility with other Navico sonar systems is not indicated.

This fairing block is a Navico accessory designed specifically for Navico’s standard StructureScan 3D through-hull transducers. Compatibility with transducers from other brands is not guaranteed and is not recommended.

You should check the documentation of your StructureScan 3D transducer or its model number. CHIRP combined transducers typically have specifications mentioning CHIRP capability in addition to StructureScan 3D.

No, this fairing block is designed for quick and simple installation, allowing sonar performance improvements without major complications.

Yes, the fairing block can be adjusted to the required keel angle of the boat's hull, providing mounting flexibility to adapt to different hull shapes.

Adjusting the fairing block to the keel angle is crucial to ensure the transducer is correctly oriented and that the water flow around it is optimal, thereby maximizing sonar performance and the accuracy of readings.

Although the product is designed for simple installation, it is recommended to refer to the installation manual supplied with the fairing block for detailed, product-specific mounting instructions.

The fairing block is designed to be mounted on the hull in conjunction with a through-hull transducer. Installing a through-hull transducer typically requires drilling the hull. The fairing block is then secured around this installation to optimize performance.

Although its primary function is hydrodynamic optimization—improving water flow and reducing drag—it can indirectly contribute to protecting the transducer by ensuring a less turbulent environment and minimizing mechanical stress caused by high-speed turbulence.
