4.1Hole Drilling
Warning: Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
1.Drill a 3 mm or 1/8" 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.
Note: 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 the appropriate size hole saw, cut a hole from outside of the hull (see table on page 1).
Note: All flush models require a countersink tool to create a “seat” in the 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.
