F Mechanical support brackets
Due to its height and weight, the hull unit gantry must be secured to the bulkhead by means of mechanical support brackets.
G Transceiver Unit
H Transducer shaft
I Heater
J Streamlined blister
K Three or four knee-plates (stiffeners) must be welded to the frames or decks.
Stiffen the installation trunk in both the fore-and-aft and athwartship directions by welding strengthening knee-plates both to the trunk and to the doubling plate.
The sonar room must be easily accessible using a suitable hatch or a door. The size of the hatch must allow the entire hull unit to be removed without being disassembled.
