Figure 5: Propeller at least 5" (13 cm) below waterline
Tighten nut to 10 foot-pounds.
NOTE: Nut has to be tight enough to hold fast but not so tight that cowling
is hard to install. Once installed, the thruster should be solidly
attached to the boat. If the thruster is loose the nut needs to be
tighter.
Using a hack saw, cut off excess threads beyond nut.
Important: Using light taps with a hammer, bevel the rim at the end of
the bolt. This will prevent the nut from working loose during operation
which could result in the thruster coming loose from the boat.
