    Title: Oceanscience Floats with Six Inch (15.24 cm) Deck Hatches
    Date: February 10, 2016

    Abstract
    Oceanscience RiverRay and High-Speed Riverboat floats may have an incorrect gasket installed.

    Instrument/Program Affected
    Oceanscience RiverRay and High-Speed Riverboat floats with six inch (15.24 cm) deck hatches.

    6 inch Hatch
    6 inch Hatch

    This FSB does not apply to Multiple-Profiler High-Speed Riverboats or eight inch (20.32 cm) deck
    hatches.

    Description
    There are two gasket profiles identified that could be installed in the hatch seal, and these may allow water to
    seep inside the float. These gaskets are shown as “B” and “C” in the picture below. The left gasket (“A”) in the
    picture makes a good, water tight seal. Note the flap on the top – outlined in red.

    A B C

    Solution/Action
    Short Term Solution
    Inspect the six inch (15.24 cm) deck hatch to determine which type of gasket profile you have. If you do not have
    profile “A”, check for any dampness inside the float after each usage and before the next usage. Remove any
    dampness that is found. Check the gasket and the lid for any damage or debris.
    Long Term Solution
    Replace type “B” or “C” gasket with a replacement type “A” gasket (which has a flap). Note the flap points towards
    the outside radius of the seal and points upward as shown in the picture above. These gaskets (ORING-6) are
    available from Teledyne RD Instruments and/or Teledyne Oceanscience.
    Contact Teledyne RD Instruments to obtain replacement gaskets.
