2 Examine the pilot hole on the outside of the boat, and select an option: • If the pilot hole is not in the correct location, seal the hole with epoxy and repeat step 1. • If the pilot hole is in the correct location, use a 25 mm (1 in.) hole saw to cut a hole from the outside of the boat through the outer fiberglass skin only. Do not cut completely through the hull. 3 On the inside of the boat, at the pilot hole location, use a hole saw to cut a hole 9 to 12 mm (3/8 to 1/2 in.) larger than the hole you cut in the outside of the boat in step 2. Cut through the inner fiberglass skin and most of the core, without cutting the outer skin. NOTE: When cutting the inner fiberglass skin and core, be careful to not cut the outer fiberglass skin, or you will not be able to correctly seal the hull. 4 Remove the inner fiberglass skin and core you cut in step 3. You should be able to see the inside of the outer fiberglass skin. 5 Sand the inside of the hole and the areas immediately around both the inside and outside fiberglass skin. 6 Clean the area using a mild detergent or weak solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, to remove any dust and dirt. Sealing the Core with Fiberglass 1 From inside the boat, coat a layer of fiberglass cloth with fiberglass resin and place it inside the hole to seal the core. 2 Add layers of fiberglass cloth and resin until the hole is 25 mm (1 in.) in diameter. 3 After the fiberglass has hardened, sand and clean inside and around the hole. The cored-fiberglass hull is now prepared, and you can complete the sensor installation. Sealing the Core with Casting Epoxy Before you can seal the core with casting epoxy, you must create a cylinder with a diameter of 25 mm (1 in.) to act as a spacer as the epoxy sets. 1 Coat a 25 mm (1 in.) cylinder with wax. 2 From outside the boat, insert the cylinder into the hole, and tape it in place on the outer surface. 3 Fill the space between the cylinder and the core with casting epoxy. 4 After the epoxy has hardened, remove the cylinder, then sand and clean inside and around the hole. The cored-fiberglass hull is prepared, and you can complete the sensor installation.

Examine the pilot hole on the outside of the boat, and select
an option:
•
If the pilot hole is not in the correct location, seal the hole
with epoxy and repeat step 1.
•
If the pilot hole is in the correct location, use a 25 mm (1
in.) hole saw to cut a hole from the outside of the boat
through the outer fiberglass skin only. Do not cut
completely through the hull.

On the inside of the boat, at the pilot hole location, use a hole
saw to cut a hole 9 to 12 mm (

in.) larger than the
hole you cut in the outside of the boat in step 2.
Cut through the inner fiberglass skin and most of the core,
without cutting the outer skin.
NOTE:
When cutting the inner fiberglass skin and core, be
careful to not cut the outer fiberglass skin, or you will not be
able to correctly seal the hull.
4
Remove the inner fiberglass skin and core you cut in step 3.
You should be able to see the inside of the outer fiberglass
skin.
5
Sand the inside of the hole and the areas immediately around
both the inside and outside fiberglass skin.
6
Clean the area using a mild detergent or weak solvent, such
as isopropyl alcohol, to remove any dust and dirt.
Sealing the Core with Fiberglass
1
From inside the boat, coat a layer of fiberglass cloth with
fiberglass resin and place it inside the hole to seal the core.
2
Add layers of fiberglass cloth and resin until the hole is
25 mm (1 in.) in diameter.
3
After the fiberglass has hardened, sand and clean inside and
around the hole.
The cored-fiberglass hull is now prepared, and you can
complete the sensor installation.
Sealing the Core with Casting Epoxy
Before you can seal the core with casting epoxy, you must
create a cylinder with a diameter of 25 mm (1 in.) to act as a
spacer as the epoxy sets.
1
Coat a 25 mm (1 in.) cylinder with wax.

From outside the boat, insert the cylinder into the hole, and
tape it in place on the outer surface.
