Retain the top half of the fairing block as this will provide a level surface inside the hull to tighten
the nuts against.
8. Check the bottom half of the block against the hull to ensure a good fit.
Ensure that the block runs parallel to the centerline of the vessel.
9. If there are gaps between the block and hull then use an appropriate file to shape the block until
a precision fit is achieved.
Band saw fence to blade distance
The table below identifies the distance to set the band saw’s fence from the blade depending on the
dead rise angle of your hull. If you have used a cutting guide then you will need to add the cutting
guide’s width to the fence to blade distance.
Important:
When using a cutting guide you must add the width of your cutting guide to the stated fence to
blade distance for your selected dead rise angle.
