4.2 Installation tailpiece and intermediate flange
• Ensure that the plastic shim plate (1) has been positioned on the
tail piece.
• Place one packing (2) between the tail piece and the tunnel.
• Apply a sealant (e.g. polyurethane or silicone) between the tail
piece and packing, and between the packing and the tunnel wall.
• Place the tail piece in the hole in the tunnel.
Any extra packings used should be ones capable of justifying the
tail piece.
*) e.g. Sikaflex®-292.
• Grease the hole of the intermediate flange and position this
flange.
• BOWB150 - Dimension 'H' should be 32 - 35 mm (1 1/4" - 1 3/8").
BOWB180/210 - Dimension 'H' should be 65 - 68 mm (2 9/16" - 2
11/16").
• Place an additional gasket between the tunnel tube and the in-
termediate flange if dimension 'H' is smaller than 32 mm for
BOWB150 or smaller than 65 mm for BOWB180/210.
• Check again dimension 'H' .
• Now fit the intermediate flange permanently to the tail piece and
grease the threads of the bolts with 'outboard gear grease' *) be-
fore inserting and tightening them.
Check for possible leaks immediately the ship returns to water.
