SECTION 6

– INSTALLING THE HRU IN A SeaShelter™

BRACKET

The ACR

SeaShelter™ is a discontinued

product that looks like this:

Contents of the HydroFix™ HRU Kit that you will need:



HydroFix

™ Replacement Hydrostatic Release Unit (E)



SeaShelter

™ release rod (A)



Keyed bracket adapter (D)



Large cotter pin (H)



HRU expiration label (K)

Tools required: Flat-head screwdriver

Instructions:
1.) Remove the front cover and

carefully release the EPIRB
from the bracket. If the front
cover of the SeaShelter

™

contains a metal bushing
where the HRU rod is secured
close (see Figure A), use a
flat-head screwdriver and pry
the bushing out of the top case and discard. This bushing prevents

the HRU rod from securing to the cotter pin.

2.) Remove the old HRU unit and rod from the bracket by pressing the

spring release back and sliding the old HRU up and out of the
bracket.

3.) Take SeaShelter

™ release rod (A) and place it on top of the rod on

the HRU aligning the two sets of holes on the base (see Figure B).

4.) Place large cotter pin (H) inside the two holes, securing the two rods

together.
