1.4 Installation of Optional Sensors

Through-hull mount water temperature/speed sensor (ST-02MSB, ST-02PSB)

Select a suitable mounting location considering the following:

•Select a mid-boat flat position. The sensor does not have to be installed perfectly perpendicular. The sensor must not be dam- aged in dry-docking operation.

•Select a place apart from equipment generating heat.

•Select a place in forward direction viewing from the drain hole for cooling water.

•Select a place free from vibration.

1.Dry-dock the boat.

2.Make a hole of approx. 51 mm diameter.

3.Unfasten locknut and remove the sensor section.

4.Apply high grade sealant to the flange of the sensor.

5.Pass the sensor casing through the hole.

6.Face the notch on the sensor toward boat's bow and tighten the flange.

7.Set the sensor section to the sensor casing and tighten the lock- nut.

8.Launch the boat and check for water leakage around the sen- sor.
