Depth transducer on E27

Hi folks....I am refinishing the below waterline hull which has years of "who knows"protective paints. I would like to know .........Do I paint the bottom of the bronze/brass fitting which houses the transducer? Is this a lexan or an acrylic plug? Thanks for your feedback.....John

Folk around me in the Gulf of Mexico, where the water temperature is already approaching 80 deg. paint everything in contact with the water except their transducer. When I was in California, people did not seem so concerned about growth on metal parts. Keeping the transducer itself clean needs to be done as part of the periodic hull scrub in the water no matter where you are.
Impossible to say what materials you may have without seeing them.
I hope this helps at least a bit.
