Cutting the Tunnel Hole
- Find the thruster position from the thruster installation manual.
- Drill both Ø12 guide holes in the correct position.
- Insert the cut out tool through both Ø12 holes.
- Start the grinder and mark the cutting path by firmly rotating the tool, without flexing the rod.
- Cut out the hole for the tunnel, leaving 3 uncut areas so the guide stays stable until the holes are correctly cut/marked on both sides.
- Continue the tunnel installation per the thruster installation manual.
Wear the required personal protective equipment: eye and ear protection.
