Final Assembly Hatch, Ø 150 Mm, 185 Mm And Ø 250 Mm; Laminating The Housing - Vetus STE9524D Instrucciones De Instalación

4 .7 Final assembly hatch, ø 150 mm, 185 mm and ø 250 mm
• Secure the hatch on the tunnel with 2
screws and check the following:
1) In closed position, the hatch should fit
properly with the ship's hull.
On the front, the hatch should be at least
1 mm ( 1 / ")higher than the outside of the
16
ship's skin.
On the sides and the rear, the hatch
should sit flush with the ship's skin.
2) In opened position, the hatch should re-
main free of the ship's skin on the front; it
may be necessary chamfer the hatch.
Once the hatch has been correctly posi-
tioned, it can be definitively screwed on.
• After checking whether the tunnel can
freely move up and down and fitting the
hatch, the shear pin and the safety clips
must be refitted.

Laminating the housing

Resin: The resin applied for the housing is vi-
nylester resin.
In order to connect the housing to the hull
of the boat we recommend to apply epoxy
resin. As an alternative to epoxy resin, viny-
lester resin can also be used.
The use of polyester resin as an alternative to
epoxy resin is not recommended.
Preliminary treatment: The outside of the
housing and at least 10 cm of the ship's skin
around the housing must be roughened.
• Use a grinding wheel to remove the entire
top layer down to the glass fabric.

Laminating: Consult the boat designer for
the number of layers and the method that
should be applied.
For laminating, apply at least 6 layers, start-
ing with 1 x 300 gm mat and then 5 x 600 gm
mat.
• As a first layer, apply a layer of resin. Ap-
ply a glass mat and impregnate this with
resin. Repeat until a sufficient number of
layers has been applied.
• Laminate on the front up to a height just
under the hinge section.
