the threads of the stuffing tube to where the flanged nut will be, inside the
hull. This will seal and hold the flanged nut securely in place inside the hull
Push the stem of the stuffing tube through the hull and fasten the bronze
flanged nut from inside the hull. For a fiberglass hull, tighten this nut
securely.
NOTE:
If the hull is wood and has been out of the water for a prolonged period,
it is suggested that the stuffing tube nut be hand tightened only, since wood
will swell after the boat is in the water and exert considerable pressure on
the stuffing tube hardware. After the hull has expanded, the nut should be
tightened securely.
2. Install the
Faking
Block:
Slide a backing block, washer, and a nut onto each of the threaded rods.
Feed the rods down through the hull.
Cut a piece of tarred felt (not provided) as a gasket to fit between the hull
and the fairing block (see the figure below). Cut a hole in the center of the
felt for the cable to pass through.
Following the caulking manufacturer’s directions, apply 3 mm
(l/S”)
thick layer of caulking to the surface of the fairing block that fits against
the hull. Lay the tarred felt on top of the coated fairing block.
