Drive installation:
The motor bulkhead 17a with its longitudinal columns 17b is cut out of the laser sheet. The motors are bolted
to the bulkhead and fitted with the coupling without the fixing foot on their end faces. For the suction pipe (if a
pump is mounted) a Ø 6 mm bore must be provided and widened to 7 mm. Fit the suction tube together with
the stern tubes.
Enlarge the holes in the hull shaft trousers to Ø 6 mm and insert the stern tubes into the hull. Align so that
the stern tubes protrude 85 mm from the corrugated trousers (see plan). Insert the ship's shafts and tighten
the couplings. Then glue the tubes and the motor bulkhead well with acrylite in the ground hull.
Fill the stern tubes with shaft grease GLS (or a few drops of thick oil) and insert the ship's shafts. Fit
propellers (20) Ø 40, 3-blade right and left (40 R and 40 L) with M4 brass lock nuts and check the shafts for
smooth running. Prior to installation, the motors must be fitted with filters (21) and connection cables (22)
about 150 mm long. Close the intake pipe watertight as a precaution.
Now staple the 4x4 mm deck support strips (2) with clips into the hull so that they are below the drawn mark,
i.e. 7.5 mm below the upper edge of the hull. Glue the strips into the hull with instant glue. By swivelling the
hull, the drops of adhesive run cleanly along the edge.
Then cut the short strip on the transom to length and glue it in place.
The slats on the foreship will be fitted later.
Mark the position of the auxiliary rubbing strakes (3) with a modified device 12 mm from the top edge of the
deck. Glue the 2 x 2 mm ABS profiles cut to length according to the plan as described. Glue the transverse
strip 3 to the rear as well. The skirting boards themselves are fitted after the hull has been painted.
Pump plate:
If you want to use the fire pump later, the suction pipe (23) must be installed now at the latest, since the
gluing points are later covered, i.e. subsequent installation is no longer possible.
The fitted and primed pump plate (25) is equipped with the steering servo (26) and the bracket (27)
according to the plan. For this purpose, the servo mount consisting of the parts (27a to 27c) is first mounted,
painted and the servo screwed in.
