3. Dome and rear hatch
When removing the dome or rear hatch, turn the retaining clips quarter turn ANTI-CLOCKWISE. If
you try to open them by turning clockwise you will over tighten them and this may damage the
paintwork. To fit the dome, carefully align the dome evenly on the rubber seal and turn each
retaining clip quarter turn CLOCKWISE. Work around each opposing clip.
Use a finger to apply light pressure to the lip of the dome next to the retaining clip you are turning.
Lightly sand the dome lip if you find the clips are hard to turn.
Carefully fit the dome and proceed to do a water test. Fill your sink, bath or other suitable water
container. Carefully lower the front of the HexH2o into the water, just enough to ensure the dome is
submerged and check to ensure it’s water tight.
If water does come through check the following things:
1. Ensure your dome is seated correctly
2. Ensure the dome seal is in place
3. Check, and where required tighten the retaining clips *
4. Apply some silicone grease to seal as this will help to retain a water tight seal
* To tighten the retainer clips: remove the dome, put the clip to its ‘closed’ position. Holding the
clip in place carefully tighten the screw. Do not over tighten, otherwise you will not be able to get
the clip over the dome and/or may damage the paintwork.
If adjustment is required, only tighten the nuts 1 quarter turn at a time. Do not over tighten.
Once you are happy the dome is watertight, repeat the process with the rear hatch.
Once completed, remove both the dome and rear hatch and put to one side.
Keep your dome protected when not in use.
4. Fitting foam buoyancy aids
Using the provided velcro fit the buoyancy aids to either side of the hull, space the velcro evenly as
