INSTRUCTIONS

Hole drilling in a metal hull / Single-layer fibreglass

1.  Drill a 3 mm pilot hole from inside the hull. If there is a rib, strut, or other hull irregularity near the selected mounting 

location, drill from the outside.

  In case the pilot hole is drilled in the wrong area, make a second hole in a better spot. Apply the masking tape on the 

outer part of the hull on the mistaken hole and fill with epoxy resin.

2.  Using the 22 mm hole saw (12 mm without thru-hull), cut the hole from outside the hull. 
  A 29 mm hole (19 mm without thru-hull) saw if a sleeve is used in the metal hull*.
3. Sand and clean the area around the hole, inside and outside, to ensure that the sealant will adhere properly to the 

hull. If there is any petroleum residue inside the hull, remove it with either mild household detergent or a weak solvent 
(alcohol) before sanding.

* For metal hulls you can ask for an insulating sleeve to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Hole drilling in a cored fibreglass hull

The core must be cut and sealed carefully. The core must be protected from water seepage, and the hull must be rein-
forced to prevent it from crushing under the hull nut allowing the housing to become loose.

WARNING: 

Completely seal the hull to prevent water seepage into the core.

1.  Drill a 3 mm pilot hole from inside the hull. If there is a rib, strut, or other hull irregularity near the selected mounting 

location, drill from the outside. (if the pilot hole is drilled in the wrong location, drill a second hole in a better location. 
Apply masking tape to the outside of the hull over the incorrect hole and fill it with epoxy).

2.  Using a 22 mm hole saw, cut the hole from outside the hull through the outer skin only.
3.  From inside the hull, use a 52 mm hole saw to cut through the inner skin and most of the core. The core material can 

be very soft. Apply only light pressure to the hole saw after cutting through the inner skin to avoid accidentally cutting 
the outer skin.

4.  Remove the plug of core material so the inside of the outer skin and the inner core of the hull are fully exposed. Sand 

and clean the inner skin, core, and the outer skin around the hole.
