11 4.3 Finishing Of The Opening - Vetus STE9524D Instrucciones De Instalación

To draw the opening a template is required.
A template is not provided, but you can eas-
ily create one yourself using a piece of waste
sheet material or sturdy cardboard.
• Draw the opening to be sawn out.
• 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.
4 .3 Finishing of the opening
• Finish the sawn-out section of the hull so
that it fits properly into the opening in the
hull.
Due to the angle the hatch has been sawn
out (45°) the hatch fully closes the opening
once the bow thruster is retracted.
