NOTES:
WARNING! THE HULL REINFORCMENT MUST BE SOLIDLY ANCHORED TO
THE HULL. FOR CORED HULLS,CORE MUST BE REMOVED
AND A SOLID STRUCTURE MUST BE PRODUCED AS PART OF THE HULL.
APPLY ONLY MARINE ADHESIVE SEALANT
CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY SHOCK FAST OR ANY OTHER COMPOUND TO
THE SURFACE WHERE THE FIN IS ATTACHED TO THE SERVO UNIT.
WARNING! THE POSSIBILITY OF THE VESSEL RUNNING AGROUND MUST
ALSO BE CONSIDERED WHEN DESIGNING
THE HULL STRUCTURE.
ENSURE THE MOUNTING SURFACE OF THE HULL REINFORCEMENT IS
FLAT AND SQUARE (PERPENDICULAR) TO THE HULL BORE.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE HULL BORE THRU THE REINFORCEMENT
PENETRATS THE HULL NORMAL TO THE INBOARD MOUNTING SURFACE.
WHEN INSTALLING IN A CURVED AREA OF THE HULL, THE OUTBOARD
HULL SURFACE MUST BE FAIRED UNDER THE FLANGE TO BE
PARALLEL TO THE INSIDE MOUNTING SURFACE.
DO NOT BEND THE OUTER FLANGE TO FIT THE CONTOUR OF THE HULL.
THE CUT SURFACE OF THE HULL BORE AND HOLES MUST BE TREATED
WITH THE YARD DESIRED METHOD TO SEAL THE STRUCTURE
FROM POSSIBLE WATER CONTAMINATION.
THE MOUNTING BOLT THRU-HOLES MUST BE PARALLEL TO THE HULL
BORE AXIS, AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE INBOARD AND
OUTBOARD MOUNTING SURFACES. ANGULAR MISALIGNMENT OF THE
MOUNTING BOLTS MAY RESULT IN BOLT FAILURE, AND
SEAWATER INTRUSION.
THE FINS CAN ROTATE 360° AND MUST BE ABLE TO FREELY ROTATE.
REMOVE ALL APPENDAGES WHICH CAN INTERFERE WITH THE FINS.
IF THE FINS ARE SUBJECTED TO A WATER FLOW AND THE SERVO UNITS
ARE NOT POWERED UP, THE FINS CAN BE ROTATED OUT OF POSITION
AND PROTRUDE OUTSIDE THE HULL SIDE.

WARNING:
DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HULL REINFORCEMENT FOR A SPECIFIC VESSEL
IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER. INSTALLER CONSULTATION WITH A
NAVAL ARCHITECT TO DETERMINE AN APPROPRIATE STRUCTURE TO SAFELY
DISTRIBUTE SERVO UNIT LOADS IS REQUIRED.
FIN LOADS:
FIN ANGLES ARE SPEED DEPENDANT.

* In case of hitting an object straight ahead, the fin is designed with a 'fail safe'
approach and the break off force is presented as "Grounding force".

IMPORTANT WARNING:
THE ILLUSTRATIONS SHOWN ON THIS DRAWING ARE TYPICAL HULL
REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS, AND ARE INTENDED
AS A GENERAL GUIDE ONLY.
EACH VESSEL'S REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE MUST BE CONSIDERED A
UNIQUE DESIGN DUE TO VARIETY OF FORCES DISTRIBUTED TO THE HULL
RESULTING FROM VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL VESSEL PARAMETER. THESE
PARAMETERS INCLUDE, LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE LOCATION, THE
MAXIMUM OPERATIONAL SPEED OF THE VESSEL, THE VESSEL
DISPLACEMENT, CENTER OF GRAVITY, TRANSVERSE AND LONGITUDINAL
METACENTER, HULL FORM, PURPOSE AND USAGE, ROLLING AND PITCHING
TENDENCIES AND FORCES, AS WELL AS ADJACENT EQUIPMENT,
STRUCTURES AND UNDERWATER APPENDAGES.
THE POSSIBLITITY OF THE FIN STRIKING AN UNDERWATER OBJECT AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF THE VESSEL RUNNING AGROUND MUST ALSO BE
CONSIDERED WHEN DESIGNING HULL STRUCTURES.
IT IS RECOMENEDED THAT THE SERVO UNIT IS
INSTALLED WITH THE ELECTRIC CONNECTOR FACING AFT.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO INSTALL THE SERVO UNIT IN ANY
ROTATION BUT IN THIS CASE THE FIN ORIENTATION
MUST BE CHANGED ELECTRICALY. THE SERVO UNIT IS
DELIVERED WITH THE FIN ORIENTION ALIGNED WITH THE
ARROW ON THE CONNECTOR COVER.

INSTALLATION AND CHOCKFAST
READ, UNDERSTAND AND PREPARE FOR THIS ENTIRE PROCEDURE BEFORE
BEGINNING.
STEP 1. CREATE A TEMPLATE FIN FROM A STIFF PLYWOOD OR CORD
PLASTIC SHEET WITHOUT THE MOUNTING FLANGE. TEST THE FIN ROTATION
IN THE AREA TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HIT ANY OBSTICAL OR CHINE. A
PROFILE OF THE FIN IS PRINTED ON THE FIN BOX.
PREPAIR THE HULL BY MAKING A ø420mm HOLE FOR THE SERVO UNIT AND
BY CREATING A FLAT SURFACE ON THE INSIDE AND OUT SIDE WITH A
DIAMETER OF 510mm FOR THE OUTER FLANGE AND SERVO IN A DESIRED
POSITION. THE THICKNESS OF THE HULL MUST BE ACCORDING TO THE
DIMENSION ON SHEET 5 OF THIS DOCUMENT.
SEE SERVO BOLT AND HOLE MOUNTING DIMENSIONS IN STEP 3.

STEP 2. IF IT IS DESIRED TO LOCATE THE FIN IN A POSITION THAT IT
COULD HIT THE CHINE THEN CHOOSE TO MODIFY THE HULL OR THE
FIN.
HULL MODIFICATION
FOR MAX 30 KNOTS:
PRODUCE A POD WITH A LEAD IN CHAMFER
SURFACE MINIMUM 1 METER BEFORE AND AFTER
THE FIN TO ALLOW THE WATER FLOW TO BE
SMOOTH AROUND THE FIN.
ABOVE 30 KNOTS:
A SPECIAL DESIGN IS REQUIRED. CONTACT A NAVAL
ARCHITECT TO GET THE DESIGN.

FIN MODIFICATION
THE FIN CAN BE FREELY MODIFIED IN THE THIN SOLID STRUCTURE BY
JIGSAW OR GRINDER IN THE UPPER BACK PART OF THE FIN.
THE MODIFICATIONS MUST BE 10 MM ABOVE THE RADIUS. THE AREA IS
MARKED BY BROKEN LINE AND DASHED LINES.
IF THE FIN IS MODIFIED, THE NEW SECTION SHOULD BE SANDED
SMOOTHLY AND A NEW LAYER OF EPOXY SHOULD BE APPLIED TO
AVOID WATER INTRUSION IN TO THE COMPOSITE LAMINATE.
NOTE!
MODIFIYING THE FINS WILL REDUCE THE EFFICIENCY OF ZERO SPEED
MODE. CHOOSE LARGER FIN IF POSSIBLE.

HULL DESIGN FOR SERVO UNIT
STEP 3. FOR GRP HULLS CUT THE 420mm HOLE. ALIGN THE HOLE
PATTERN FOR THE M10 BOLTS PARALLEL TO THE WATER FLOW IN THE
FIN AREA. USING A DRILL GUIDE, DRILL THE 12 x ø12 HOLES
PERPENDICULAR TO SURFACE. ALL THE HOLES MUST BE PREPAIRED
WITH YARD DESIRED SURFACE FINNISHING TO ELIMINATE WATER
INTRUSION.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE SERVO UNIT INTO THE HULL, THOROUGHLY
CLEAN, DEGREASE AND PROTECT THE INSIDE HULL DIAMETER , HOLES
AND THE LOWER END OF THE SERVO UNIT FROM CONTAMINATION.
