course, rising from malfunction of
interceptors, should be dealt immediately by
the operator. At no circumstances, fault of our
interceptor equipment leading to any kind of
accident, creates liability for the
manufacturer.

Before Installation
1. For high speed boats, overtrim may cause unexpectable turn. Improper use of trim tabs, may result to
accident or injury.
2. DO NOT PLACE YOUR FINGERS ON THE SIDES OF THE INTERCEPTORS (Figure 4). Severe injury danger!!!

A good hint is that the closer the units are to the water line, the best the bank control of the boat will be
(Figure 3).
Attention! Please make sure that the pipe
insertion hole is accessible from the engine room
(Figure 2).
Make sure there are no obstructions behind the
drilling area (tanks, fuel lines, cabling) which can
be damaged or prevent the installation (Figure 1).
If there is a double installation on the boat please
allow a 18 to 20 mm space between them (Figure
4).

Transom
Interceptor
Proper interceptor installation in transom
For maximum performance and less drag, install interceptors on the transom so blades deploy vertically.
If transom is not vertical to water plane, correct the angle by using wedges or other means.
If the boat's transom has a significant curvature, it is necessary to create a flat plane for the installation
(acceptable flatness tolerance: 2mm).
Optimal Less performance Correct angle
More drag

Transom Wrong
For aluminum hulls, it is suggested Isolation Plates between hull and interceptors to be installed. You can
find installation instructions in the Isolation Plates Kit.
