Positioning of the Retract Thruster Retract Thruster Ensure enough space for the complete retract unit including room for installation of SRF flange and for future service. Allow 100 mm of clear space around the thruster for moulding of the SRF flange. Ensure that when the thruster is deployed the depth of the propeller exceeds the minimum tunnel depth defined in below table.
Preparing a Sandwich Hull for Retract Systems MC_0067 Identify the location of the thruster considering space required for installation, operation and future maintenance. Ensure to have a minimum of 100mm space around the thruster installation to have service access Bow thrusters must be positioned on the boat centre line.
Marking and Trimming of SRF Flange MC_0068 Flip the SRF flange upside down and position it at the identifi ed installation location. Use the internal edge to mark were to cut out the thruster hatch from the hull. The SRF flange must sit so the two side rails run flush with the hull. To do so the SRF flange must be trimmed down to match the hull profi le curvature.

Marking and Trimming of SRF Flange MC_0068 Prepare for cutting the hatch door. Drill 4 holes at a 45º angle towards the starboard and port side. (NB: To cut the hatch from outside the hull. Start by drilling 4 holes from the marked area inside the vessel. These holes will aid in determining the hatch profi le from the outside.) The hatch opening must be cut at an angle of 45º...
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 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. Before grinding of hull and SRF flange, precautions must be taken against grinding dust inside the boat.
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 at the 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.
