IMPORTANT 

Avoid all casting where the motor-bracket is to be placed, as this will cause misfi t and possible failure to the gear house.

Tunnel Installation

EN

With tunnel installed and cast.

1.  Round the edges with a radius of 10% of the tunnel diameter. 

2.  For steel/ aluminium hulls make a slope with a length of 10-15% of the tunnel diameter. 

(NB: If this is not possible, round the tunnel end as much as possible.)

3.  Additionally cast two layers on the outside of the tunnel/ hull in a 10cm area

4.  Follow the same method if making the defl ector/ spoiler.

You must apply gel coat to areas you have grounded/ moulded to make waterproof. These areas allow water access to the hull which is typically not 

waterproof without these applications outside. 

(NB: All original Side-Power tunnels are fully waterproof when delivered except in the areas where 

you have cut and bonded it to the hull.)
