Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.6.2 Fiberglass Hull Preparation
1) Position installation fixture (Fig 8) 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 (Fig 9) around foundation saddles for easy clean-up and to create outline
of surface area to receive adhesive as (Fig 8). Insure that the bond gap is within the
manufacturer’s recommended thickness, or 3 mm if using Plexus MA590.
3) Raise fixture clear of foundation. Check all four mounting areas are co-planar to within
.13” (3 mm) to each other, as well as parallel to the water line plane, as shown in Fig 8.
