Barji Marine PS70 Transducer Insulator Sleeve: Protect Your Investment from Galvanic Corrosion
When installing the stainless-steel Garmin PS70 through-hull transducer into an aluminum faring, galvanic corrosion can be a serious concern. That's why Barji Marine has developed the PS70 Transducer Insulator Sleeve—an essential solution designed to eliminate corrosion caused by dissimilar metals coming into contact with one another.
Why Use the PS70 Insulator Sleeve?
Galvanic corrosion occurs when different metals interact in a marine environment, potentially causing damage to both the transducer and the aluminum faring. The PS70 Insulator Sleeve provides a simple, effective way to prevent this, ensuring your transducer and vessel stay protected in the long run.
Precision-Engineered for a Perfect Fit
The Barji Marine PS70 Insulator Sleeve is made from high-quality ABS plastic, a tough, corrosion-resistant material that ensures reliable performance. The sleeve fully encapsulates the top and sides of the PS70 transducer, creating a secure barrier between the stainless-steel transducer and aluminum faring block.
Key Features:
- Corrosion Protection: Prevents galvanic corrosion by eliminating direct contact between stainless steel and aluminum
- Two-Piece Design: The sleeve is shipped in two parts—the main body and a stem. The stem is cut to size during installation and easily relocated back into the main body for a seamless fit
- Easy Sealing: The main body is slightly oversized to leave a 2mm gap around the transducer, which can be filled with a marine adhesive sealant during installation to ensure a water-tight fit
- Adaptable Fit: Ideal for commercial and recreational boat builders or anyone manufacturing an aluminum faring block for the Garmin PS70 transducer
Simple Installation, Lasting Protection
Installing the PS70 Insulator Sleeve is straightforward. The two-piece design makes it easy to customize the fit during installation, with the stem being cut to size and centrally placed back into the main body. The 2mm sealing gap ensures a precise fit, while the marine adhesive provides a secure, corrosion-resistant bond.
Who Should Use This Product?
Whether you’re a commercial or recreational boat builder, or simply planning to manufacture an aluminum faring block, the Barji Marine PS70 Insulator Sleeve is the ideal solution for protecting your transducer and preventing corrosion issues. By fully encapsulating the transducer in durable ABS plastic, this sleeve ensures long-lasting performance and peace of mind in even the harshest marine environments.
