Overview
The Garmin 010-12928-02 is a thru-hull fairing block used with the Panoptix LiveScope LVS32-TH thru-hull down transducer to keep the transducer face parallel to the water line for consistent sonar alignment.
On hull sections where the deadrise at the mounting point is more than 5 degrees, the fairing block lets you match the hull angle while keeping the transducer level. The block is meant to be cut and shaped to the hull, with a maximum cut angle of 25 degrees and a minimum remaining thickness of 2 mm (1/16 in.).
It is a good match for boats where you want a clean thru-hull LiveScope install and you have enough interior access to work the block, sealant, and mounting hardware from both sides of the hull.
Key features
- Made for the Garmin Panoptix LiveScope LVS32-TH thru-hull down transducer
- Keeps the transducer aligned parallel to the water line when hull deadrise would otherwise tilt it
- Recommended when the deadrise at the mounting location exceeds 5 degrees
- Cut-to-fit fairing block; maximum cutting angle is 25 degrees
- Maintain at least 2 mm (1/16 in.) of material after cutting for proper support
- The remaining offcut can be used as an interior backing block during installation
Compatibility and fit
This fairing block is intended for thru-hull mounting of the LVS32-TH transducer as part of a Panoptix LiveScope system. It is not a general-purpose fairing for other transducers, so match it to the LVS32-TH mounting hardware and the hull template used for that install.
Plan the mounting location so there is smooth water flow outside the hull and clear access inside. On single-drive boats, keep the transducer out of the propeller path. On twin-drive boats, the area between the drives is commonly used when hull shape and access allow.
Installation and setup
Measure the deadrise angle at the exact spot where the transducer will sit before you cut the block. The fairing block is trimmed to that angle, then shaped so it sits flush on the hull and presents a fair surface to the water.
Use marine sealant between the fairing block and the hull to keep the thru-hull watertight, and remove excess sealant from the exterior before it cures so water flows smoothly over the block and transducer.
Maintenance and care
During routine bottom checks or haul-outs, inspect the fairing block for impact damage and marine growth. Keep the leading edges clean so the water flow stays smooth, and re-bed with fresh sealant if the transducer is removed for service.
