CAUTION: Do not fibre glass the area of the motor support.
It is recommended to lightly sand down the area where the motor support is
fitted.
On the outside, when the ISOPHTALIQUE RESIN has set, finish with an application of resin
and material, followed with an additional coat on the hull, in the tunnel area.
To optimise the flow of water while sailing, deflectors & a relief should be fashioned.
These can be made up with several coats of reinforced filler in order to obtain the required
hydrodynamic lines.
Once all fibreglass work is complete, apply a coat of epoxy or gel-coat to waterproof the
entire area.

PROPELLER DRIVE LEG & MOTOR SUPPORT
The leg’s gasket and the motor‘s support can be used to mark up the drilling position, in
some cases it might be easier, to mark out the position, and drill before the stratification of
the tunnel.
Centre and trace the drilling positions for the leg and its support.
Fit the leg along with the gasket, in the tunnel.
Check general positioning of the propellers.
Small pieces of folded cardboard can be used to check the spacing between the propeller
tips and the tunnel is even all round. Slight adjustment to align the leg in its tunnel may be
necessary.
After checks, remove leg etc; remount the assembly, covering the gasket with an oil and salt
water resistant jointing compound. After fitting, remove all excess compound.
The gasket must be between the leg and the tunnel, and not between the motor support
and the tunnel.
Care must be taken at all times when fitting the leg into the motor support to ensure that
the mating components are dirt free and covered with a light film of grease.
IMPORTANT: GRAPHITE GREASE MUST NOT BE USED.
Torque values: screw Ø 8 mm = 30 Nm screw; tighten the two fixing screws alternately.
The installation of the composite drive leg is identical to that of bronze leg, except for the
following points: The composite drive leg is lubricated for life.
The composite drive leg does not require an anode.
The composite drive leg MUST NOT BE DISMANTLED, even partially.
Once tightened, ensure that the propeller/s turn freely without touching the tunnel.
