Making The Opening From The Inside - Vetus STE9524D Instrucciones De Instalación

• Determine the location where the hous-
ing should be placed, and mark 'A' on the
back.
Making the opening can be done from either the inside or from the
outside.
It is more difficult to determine the right dimensions of the opening
from the inside in case of a larger thickness of the ship's hull.

Making the opening from the inside

Hull
• Draw the opening to be sawn out for the
hatch.
We recommend using a template for this pur-
pose.
A template is not provided, but you can eas-
ily create one yourself using a piece of waste
sheet material or sturdy cardboard.
• Saw the opening in the hull.
Preferably saw at an angle of 45° in relation to
the ship's centre line.
After the bow thruster has been fitted, the
sawn-out section can be used as a hatch to
close the opening while sailing.
