The
attachment is normally mounted
centrally on the after rail where it can be sited in
clear wind on both tacks. The
mounting
mast is clamped to the after rail by the two ‘U’
bolts provided (Fig. 9). The
is
supplied as standard with a plug attached to
the interconnecting cable. For use with the
6000 this plug should be cut off and
the cable threaded through the mast. The
head is then plugged into the top of
the mast (Fig. 10). The interconnecting cable
should be passed through the deck using the
waterproof deck gland. To fit the gland a 6mm
dia. hole should be drilled through the deck to
pass the cable through and the gland finally
screwed into position using the self tapping
screws provided (Fig. 1 1). After pulling the
interconnecting cable completely through, the
gland nut should be gently tightened to seal the
cable. The interconnecting cable can then be
led back to the course computer for final
connection (see section 2.3.1).
NB. The
head is supplied with the
vane detached for ease of packing. The vane is
easily assembled to the head and secured by
means of the circlip provided (Fig. 12). Care
should be taken to ensure that the small circlip
is correctly located in the groove.
