3.4 FINAL FITTING OF THE MOUNTING BASE TO HULL
WARNING : Please keep in mind that thruster unit will automatically retract after 10 minutes,
when in “Normal Operation Mode”. Thus before doing any work on the turbine, please ensure
that thruster is in “Manual Mode”. When in doubt remove fuse in supply of the electronic
control box.
a) Once the hull opening has
been cut and rebate
constructed, you need to
temporarily fix the mounting
base in its marked position.
Install the thruster in
position, fixing it with four
bolts at the corners, raise
and lower the unit, making
sure that the unit is not
being obstructed by
anything and that the
turbine completely clears the
hull when fully down;
b) IMPORTANT verify that the
construction point, as
shown on “Build Drawing”
has been respected.

c) Once completely satisfied with the position and height of the mounting base, the base can be
permanently stratified and fixed into the hull while respecting the inside dimensions of the
mounting base. In order to ensure that the mounting base keeps its initial form during the
stratification process, one can use some wooden spacers ( length = 249 mm) on the inside of
the mounting base.
