A flange base version is available for high volume customers performing installations in the same location
repetitively. This requires an appropriate recess moulding in the hull and a custom box produced by Lewmar to fit
it. Please contact Lewmar for further information on this facility.
3.4b Installing the box (flange base)
The flange base thruster is supplied as a complete unit. The bot-
tom flange is custom made to match the contour of the hull. The
hatch is also pre-fitted to the tunnel.
Ensure moulded recess in hull is clean and ready for bonding.
Exact details on preparatory steps should be taken from the
instructions from the bonding agent to be used.
Perform the recommended preparatory work to the flange of
the thruster box itself. Apply the chosen bonding agent as
instructed and position the box into the recess, holding in place
using strapping or suitable support for the duration of the stated
curing time.
Once the bonding agent has cured, finish and fair the installation
as required to achieve a seamless blend between flange and
hull.
