2) Clean the mounting location thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad (being careful not to remove your marks).
3) Peel the liner from one side of the VHB tape and align the VHB tape with your marks and smooth in place.
4) Peel the remaining liner from the VHB tape.
5) DOUBLE CHECK (it's easy to make a mistake here) that you have the curve of the impeller pointing toward the bow ball, and the
impeller pointing toward the fin.
6) Align the impeller on the VHB tape and press firmly.
7) WAIT 24 HOURS BEFORE ROWING. The tape requires
24 hours to fully cure!
Install the Impeller (Temporary):
For borrowed boats, or if you plan to remove your
impeller for racing, you may install your impeller tem-
porarily with electrical tape. When installed properly
with electrical tape, the impeller should not easily
fall off your boat. However, check the tape regularly to make sure that it is still
secured to the boat and is not beginning to peel off.
1) Set the impeller on top of the hull in your selected location. Sight down the
length of the hull to ensure the impeller is straight. Mark your mounting loca-
tion with a permanent pen.
2) Clean the mounting location thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad (being care-
ful not to remove your marks).
3) CUT (do not tear - this stretches the adhesive and makes it less effective) two
pieces of electrical tape approximately 180 mm long.
4) Place the impeller in its mounting location. DOUBLE CHECK (it's easy to
make a mistake here) that you have the curve of the impeller pointing toward
the bow ball, and the impeller pointing toward the fin.
5) Lay one long pieces of electrical tape on either side of the impeller, with approximately half of the width of the tape on the
impeller mount flange and half on the hull. You should have approximately an inch of extra tape on each end that will affix
solely to the boat.
6) Cut two 65 mm pieces of tape for the two ends of the impeller. Lay them on top of the ends of the mount flange, and across
the two long pieces of tape
7) Smooth all the tape thoroughly, ensuring there are no bubbles and full contact with the hull.
8) WAIT 24 HOURS BEFORE ROWING.
IMPORTANT!
While transporting your boat, it is important to secure or remove the impeller. The constant spinning will wear the magnet.
You can either keep a cover on your boat while transporting, tape the impeller so it cannot spin, or unscrew the impeller from
the hull mount.
