Holes relieved for blind nuts.
Blind nut holes taped so no glue enters.
Radio box in position.
Drill the 3 holes in the radio box with a 9/64
(.140) bit.
With your Dremel (or a ½ inch forstner bit),
relieve the holes in the mounts to a depth
of about 1/16 or so. This is for the blind
nuts, so that we can epoxy the mounts to
the hull bottom.
Install the blind nuts in the mounts, and use
a little medium CA to keep them in place.
Make sure they are flush with the surface
of the mount.
Using the (3) 6-32x3/8 screws and #6 flat
and lock washers, bolt the mounts to the
radio box.
Sand the bottoms of the mounts.
Cut 3 little pieces of masking tape about ¼
inch square. Put these on the blind nuts so
that epoxy cannot get into the nut in the
next step.
Sand the hull bottom where the radio box
will go. This will be between bulkheads 3
and 4, on the right side.
Using 30 minute epoxy, glue the mounts
(with radio box attached) to the bottom.
Center the radio box, front to rear between
bulkheads 3 and 4.
The radio box should be flush with the
exhaust opening in bulkhead 3.
If you mount it further to the right, taping
the lid on will be tougher, and further to the
left will get the radio box too close to the
exhaust.
Weight the box with a pound or two, and let
cure at least two hours.
