1) Position installation fixture (Fig 9) on hull girders noting recommended clearances for
maintenance from Figure 2. Check that the screws fastening the saddles to the installation
fixture are tight (Fig 6).
2) Mask hull area (as shown in blue, Fig 10) around foundation saddles for easy clean-up and to
create outline of surface area to receive adhesive as shown in brown, Fig 9. Insure that the
bond gap is within adhesive manufacturer’s recommended thickness, or 3mm if using Plexus
MA590.
