When mounted in the longitudinal direction of the hull, the distance between two installation trunks must be minimum three
-3- times the diameter of the forward trunk. |

NoteWhen mounted in the longitudinal direction of the hull, the distance between two installation trunks must be minimum three
-3- times the diameter of the forward trunk. This is important to increase performance and to reduce noise and excessive vibrations that can damage the hull unit.
On some vessels the sonar hull units are installed side by side.

When mounted perpendicular to the longitudinal direction on the hull, the installation trunks must be placed minimum 1 metre
apart. |

The hull units must not be installed too close to each other. This is important to reduce flow noise when both sonars are used. It is also important to allow unlimited hoisting and lowering operations, as well as necessary access for repair and maintenance.
