3.2 DETERMINING & MARKING UP POSITION
a) Remove the counter-mould on the inside of the hull ,in area where thruster will be installed,
allowing at least 15 cm on the outside of mounting base position for stratifying the mounting
base to the hull.
b) Position the thruster inside
the hull. Cut a piece of
wood( length = 121mm –
hull thickness) to use as a
spacer. Place this spacer
between the thruster’s
flange and hull. This will
give the installation height
and position of the unit.
c) When satisfied with the
initial position of the unit,
take measurements at
various points between the
flange and the bottom of
the hull. Mark these
measurements onto the
mounting base to determine
the initial shape to which
the base should be cut. To
allow sufficient tolerance,
add 5 mm to all the above
measurements to allow for
tolerances.

e) The thruster unit can now be removed and once the mounting base has been cut, using the
above measurements, the base can be temporarily fixed in place in its marked position.
f) Place the thruster unit in the temporarily fixed mounting base to verify dimensions.
