Raymarine Fairing Block f/HV-300 Thru-Hull Transducer

Enhance the performance of your Raymarine HV-300 thru-hull transducer with this precision-engineered fairing block. Designed specifically for high-speed marine applications, it streamlines water flow over the transducer housing, minimizing turbulence and drag while maximizing sonar accuracy. Boaters and anglers who demand reliable depth and fishfinding data in challenging conditions swear by this accessory for its seamless integration and long-term reliability.

Unlike basic mounts, this fairing block contours perfectly to the hull's shape, ensuring the HV-300 sits flush and captures clear echoes even at speeds over 30 knots. It's a small investment that unlocks the full potential of your sonar system, reducing noise interference and improving target separation for that edge on the water.

Key Benefits for Serious Boaters

• Superior Hydrodynamics: The aerodynamic profile cuts through water resistance, preventing air bubbles that can distort readings and delivering pinpoint precision in depth, bottom structure, and fish location.
• Robust Construction: Crafted from marine-grade composites that withstand UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, and impacts, ensuring it holds up season after season without cracking or degrading.
• Easy Retrofit: Bolts directly to standard thru-hull installations, making it a straightforward upgrade for Raymarine systems without hull modifications.
• Enhanced Signal Quality: By aligning the transducer at the optimal deadrise angle, it boosts overall system efficiency, especially in rough seas or high-speed pursuits.

Installation Insights from the Field

Installing the fairing block is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or pros alike. Start by dry-fitting the HV-300 transducer into the block to confirm alignment, then mark your hull's deadrise angle—typically 12 to 20 degrees for planing hulls. Secure with stainless steel hardware, seal with marine sealant, and bed everything in place. Pro tip: Angle the leading edge slightly downward to promote laminar flow, which can shave seconds off your response time when chasing structure.

Common pitfalls to avoid? Skipping the fairing leads to cavitation at speed, muddying your screen with false echoes. With this block, you'll notice crisper arches and reliable bottom tracking right away.

Perfect Match for Raymarine Ecosystems

This fairing block pairs exclusively with the HV-300 thru-hull series, complementing Raymarine's Axiom, Element, and legacy multifunction displays. It's ideal for offshore fishing rigs, performance center consoles, and tournament setups where every detail counts. Whether you're running dual-channel CHIRP or high-frequency down imaging, it ensures your transducer performs at peak without compromising hull integrity.

Longevity and Maintenance Tips

Built to endure the harshest marine environments, the fairing block resists biofouling and gelcoat adhesion issues that plague lesser designs. Routine care is simple: Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure, inspect fasteners annually, and apply a wax polish for that showroom shine. Many owners report zero maintenance beyond this for 5+ years of heavy use.
