Required Tools for Installation

Before Installation

Make sure there are no obstructions behind the drilling area (tanks, fuel lines, cabling) which can be damaged or prevent the installation procedure.

Attention! Make sure that the pipe insertion hole is accessible from the engine room.

A good hint is that the closer the units are to the water line, the best the bank control of the boat will be.

Safety Precautions

1. For high-speed boats, over-trim may cause an unexpectable turn. Improper use of the trim tabs, may result to accident or injury.
2. DO NOT PLACE YOUR FINGERS INSIDE THE BLADE HOLES

Proper Interceptor installation in transom

If the boat’s transom has a significant curvature, it is neccecary to create a flat plane for the installation.
Acceptable flatness tolerances: 2mm.

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.

For maximum performance and less drag, install interceptors on the transom so blades deploy vertically. If transom is not verical to water plane, correct the angle by using wedges or other means.

Interceptor Installation

1. Drill all the pattern holes with 3mm bore without removing the pattern.

2. Remove the pattern and drill according to the pattern instructions.

3. Apply Sikaflex 291 to the holes and use a spatula to clean the excess glue from holes.

4. Remove thes screws and open he interceptor.

5. For Direct Air Supply: Advise the instructions.
   For indirect Air Supply: Use the components included in the kit.

6. Apply Sikaflex to the interceptor.

7. Mount the pipe into the drilling hole.

8. Mount the cap base to the transom.

9. Mount the interceptor to the transom.

10. Mount the front cap and tighten the screws that were removed at step 4.

11. Mount the cap.

Indirect Installation

1. Drill the transom, at the tube holder holes with a 12mm bore for the middle (tube passing thru) hole and with a 3,8mm.

2. Attention:
   Before mounting the tube holder , apply Sikaflex as shown in the image. Mount the tube holder to the transom and connect the interceptor with the air unit.
