Recommended Tools and supplies
Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit for pilot hole, 1-1/16 (27 mm) hole saw with a blade type appropriate for the com- position of your transom.
Required supplies for this job include: high quality, marine grade above- or below-waterline sealant/adhesive compound. We recommend 3M Poly- urethane Marine Adhesive Sealant 5200 or an equivalent brand. The sen- sor is packed with a lock nut used for mounting.
Installation
1.The EP-80R TH thru-hull temperature sensor can be mounted in any location on the hull, with the most common application being on the transom. Wherever you install it, make sure the temp module will be in contact with the water at all times and that it does not interfere with the boat's trailer.
Suggested location
To install the EP-80R TH, use a hole saw to cut a 1-1/16" (27 mm) hole in
the transom. The hole should be below the waterline.
2.After you've determined the proper location on the transom for the EP-80R TH, drill a 1/8" (3 mm) pilot hole from inside the transom.
3.The EP-80R TH requires a 1-1/16" (27 mm) hole. Using a hole saw, drill from the outside of the transom to prevent the gel coat from crack- ing on fiberglass boats. Use eye and face protection when drilling the hole.
