Transducer Paint

[RAMPAGE88]

Just installed an Airmar B117 flushmount Transducer & instructions say to coat unit with water base bottom paint. I've never covered transducers in the past & was wondering what others do? Painting won't be an issue as the bottom is done in Sea Hawk Montery (water-based paint). Just wondering if it has any effect on performance.

I always paint mine with the water based stuff you buy in the little bottle.

Seems to wear off about 1/2 way through the season but keeps the barnacles off for a little while.
