Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Airmar 60WR-4 Transducer Housing Wrench used for?
The Airmar 60WR-4 is a specialized tool designed for single-handed operation to precisely tighten the thru-hull housing of Airmar B60SS60 transducers, ensuring a secure and watertight installation.
What Airmar transducer models is the 60WR-4 compatible with?
The 60WR-4 is specifically designed and compatible with the Airmar B60SS60 thru-hull transducer models.
Can the 60WR-4 be used to tighten the hull nut?
No, the 60WR-4 is designed to grip the transducer housing via its wrench flats. The hull nut should be tightened using a separate, compatible wrench such as the Airmar 60WR-2 or 60WR-3.
What is the difference between the 60WR-4 and the 60WR-2 or 60WR-3?
The 60WR-4 is for the transducer housing itself, while the 60WR-2 and 60WR-3 are specifically designed for tightening the hull nut onto the transducer shaft.
How does the 60WR-4 facilitate tightening the hull nut?
The 60WR-4 does not directly tighten the hull nut. Instead, it securely holds the transducer housing, allowing the installer to then use the appropriate hull nut wrench (60WR-2 or 60WR-3) to properly torque the hull nut for a watertight seal.
