Positioning of the Retract thruster The thruster must be installed as far forward as possible. Allow for 100mm around the thruster for moulding the retract frame and the depth of the propeller when extended is a minimum of the vaule defined below under the waterline. For bow installations, the thruster must be installed in the centre line of the keel.
Preparing a Sandwich Hull for Retract Systems MC_0067 For vessels with sandwich hull construction, additional reinforcement of the area around the retract flange is required. Cross section of a sandwich core hull Inner laminate Core Outer laminate Gel coat 1. To achieve maximum strength and bonding in the area around the installation of the retract thruster remove the inner and core material to expose the outer laminate.
Marking and Trimming of SRF Flange MC_0068 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Identify the location of the thruster considering space required for installation, operation and future maintenance. 2. Mark the keel centre line on the inside of the hull. Flip the SRF flange upside down and use the internal surface to mark the hull for cutting the thruster hatch.
Installation Pre-check MC_0068 Temporarily set up the complete installation to ensure no conflicts during the fi nal operation of the thruster. Use epoxy fi ller in the 4 corners of the SRF flange and set it over the hatch. Attach the retract housing retract flange with 4 corner screws to hold. Use polyester or resin to attach the hull hatch to the retract unit.
Required Modifi cations After Pre-check MC_0068 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! To increase the space between the hatch and the hull the entire SRF flange and motor must be raised at the stern end. With the hatch in the open position raise the stern end of the SRF flange and motor until the appropriate clearance is achieved.
SRF Flange Installation MC_0068 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Start the laminating with a strong attachment point in each corner between the hull and the outside of the lower unit. Use epoxy and fi breglass cutting or similar, which laminating material is the boat builders responsibility.
Motor House Installation MC_0068 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Apply MS Polymer or equivalent on SRF flange top surface to seal and avoid water leakage. (NB: Ensure that glue is compatible with SRF and thruster case materials.) Place the upper thruster Housing down on the SRF flange.
Hatch Installation MC_0068 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Fit pin bolts to the lower tunnel rods. The ends of the bolts must be sharp to create marks in the hatch. The pin bolts must be in correct height so the hatch will fi t in its inner position.
V-Motor to House Installation MC_0633 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Install the motor onto the motor bracket ensuring the couplings and the drive shafts have locked together. (NB: depending on your coupling you may need to wiggle the motor into place.
