Cored Fiberglass Boat Hull Installation
Instructions
Installing a Thru-Hull Transducer with a Fairing Block
Drilling the Transducer Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation
Bolt Hole in a Cored Fiberglass Hull
Before you can drill the hole for the anti-rotation bolt, you must
drill the hole for the transducer stem (
Drilling the Transducer
Stem Hole and the Anti-Rotation Bolt Hole in a Cored Fiberglass
Hull
, page 3
) and you must cut the fairing block (
Cutting the
Fairing Block
, page 2
).
The core must be cut and sealed carefully to protect against
water seepage.
1
Select a mounting location without surface irregularities or
obstructions.
2
Using the template, mark the location of the stem hole and
anti-rotation bolt.
3
Drill a 3 mm (
1
/
8
in.) pilot hole through the template and hull
at the stem hole location.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.
4
Place masking tape over the pilot hole and surrounding area
outside the hull to prevent damage to the fiberglass.
5
Using a 32 mm (1
1
/
4
in.) bit at the stem hole location, drill
from outside the hull through the outer skin
, inner skin
,
and the core
.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.
6
Sand and clean the inner skin, core, and outer skin around
the hole.
7
Seal the exposed inner core with epoxy
, and allow the
epoxy to set thoroughly.
8
While holding a drill with a 9 mm (
3
/
8
in.) bit plumb, drill the
anti-rotation bolt hole through the hull from outside the hull.
The hole must be perpendicular to the water surface.
9
Sand and clean the area around the hole with a solvent wash
to remove dust particles.
Applying Marine Sealant to a Thru-Hull Transducer
You must apply marine sealant to the transducer to ensure a
tight, waterproof seal between the fairing block and the hull. Do
not apply sealant directly to the stem or anti-rotation bolt.
Apply marine sealant
around the base of the stem and
anti-rotation bolt on the transducer.
Installing the Transducer with a Fairing Block
It is recommended that two installers complete these
instructions, with one positioned outside the boat and one inside
the boat.
NOTE:
When installing the transducer in a cored fiberglass hull,
avoid over-tightening the nuts to prevent damaging the hull.
1
Apply marine sealant at the base of the anti-rotation bolt
and transducer stem
