This is not to answer your question, but there is no reason to keep
paint off of your depth transducer. It will not affect the performance
in any measurable way. The only possible concern is that the solvents in
some paints "might" attack the plastic lens. If you want to be sure
about avoiding that, simply paint the transducer with a water based
bottom paint. They even sell little bottles of it labled as "transducer
paint". Any water based bottom paint is fine, and I painted mine with
solvent based Micron Extra for 15 years with no apparent harm. I think
the transducer makers put that in their instructions as a defensive move
"just in case".

I just hauled my boat out and had the bottom painted. I asked the
person providing the service to make sure that the Transducer was
clear of paint and also if they could tell me the location. The
painter could not locate the transducer. For the life of me I have
not been able to find out where the transducer is located. It is a
Signet brand depth sounder and it came that way installed by the
factory (I assume). Maybe its not a through the hull transducer I
don’t know.
If anyone has a similar set up or knows the location please let me
email me. The depth sounder works intermittently and I would like to
find out why. I have not followed the wiring (grey) because there are
a number of grey wires bundled together and tied with plastic ties. I
may have to do this sooner or later.
Thank you
