Tools and Materials

Water-based 

or 

mineral spirits based antifouling paint 

(mandatory in salt wate

r)

Safety goggles
Dust mask
Electric drill with 10mm (3/8") or larger chuck capacity
Drill bit 3mm 

or 

1/8"

Hole saw 51mm 

or 

2" (plastic or bronze housing)

57mm 

or 

2-1/4" (stainless steel housing in a metal hull)

Countersink tool (installing a flush housing)
Sandpaper
Mild household detergent 

or 

weak solvent (such as alcohol)

File (installation in a metal hull)
Marine sealant
Additional washer [for aluminum hull less than 6mm (1/4") thick]
Zip-ties
Installation in a cored fiberglass hull (see page 3)
Hole saw for hull interior 60mm 

or 

2-3/8"

Fiberglass cloth and resin 

or 

Cylinder, wax, tape, and casting epoxy

1.3 

Pre-Installation Test

Connect the sensor to the instrument and spin the paddlewheel. Check for a speed
reading (and the approximate air temperature if applicable). If there is no reading or it
is inaccurate, return the instrument to the place of purchase.

1.4 

Antifouling Paint

Marine growth can accumulate rapidly on the sensor’s surface reducing performance
within weeks. Surfaces exposed to salt water 

must 

be coated with antifouling paint.

Use 

water-based or mineral spirits based 

antifouling paint only. 

Never 

use ketone

based paint, since ketones can attack many plastics possibly damaging the sensor. It
is easiest to apply antifouling paint before installing the sensor, but allow sufficient
drying time. Reapply paint every 6 months or at the beginning of each boating season.
Paint the following surfaces (see Figure 1):

•

 

Outside wall of the paddlewheel insert below the lower O-ring

•

 

Paddlewheel cavity

•

 

Paddlewheel

•

 

Exterior lip of the housing and valve assembly

•

 

Bore of the valve assembly up 30mm (1-1/4")

•

 

Blanking plug below the lower O-ring including the exposed end

1.5 

Mounting Location

Turbulence-free water 

must 

flow over the paddlewheel at all speeds. Choose an

accessible spot inside the vessel. Allow a minimum of 280mm (11") of headroom for
the height of the housing, tightening the nuts, and removing the insert.
