Checking Soundome When In Dry Dock When the vessel is dry-docked, check for any signs of corrosion on the Soundome assembly. Find the reason for the corrosion and as necessary attach a zinc plate to the hull unit as an anticorrosion measure.The soundome cover may be cleaned with a household plastic scouring pad, such as “Scotch Brite” pads. Please feel free to call us at (360) 834-9300 or visit us on the web at www.Furuno.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you for purchasing the CH2
