transducer and barnacles

[man2ville]

Should I paint the transducer to keep barnacles off it (and slime off it) or scrape it with putty knife every so ofter? Or are transducers made so barnacles and slime don't attached?

I am getting a Humminbird 788ci.

Thanks.

Pettit #1793 transducer paint works well.
