SYSTEM OVERVIEW
INTERCEPTOR
MOUNTING OPTIONS
THRU-HULL CABLE FITTINGS
Depending on preference, the Interceptors can be mounted with thru-hull cable
fittings above the waterline (A) or below, concealed behind the Interceptors
(B).
ALLOWED SPRAY RAIL OVERLAP
NOTE! Chine Interceptor
PROPELLER CLEARANCE
If the boat has an outboard engine or sterndrive, the Interceptors must be
mounted with clearance to the propeller(s).
NOTE! Intermediate Interceptor
CONVEX BOTTOM CURVATURE
CONCAVE BOTTOM CURVATURE
PREPARE THE TRANSOM
ENSURE A FLAT SURFACE FOR EACH INTERCEPTOR
The transom must be relatively flat where the Interceptors are mounted to
ensure that they work properly.
DRILLING TEMPLATE
Start mounting the Interceptors as far outward as possible, although well inside the transom. Continue inwards when installing multiple Interceptors.
Convex bottom: Place two straightedges under the bottom parallel to the
boat’s centerline. When placed on the straightedges and pressed against the
transom, the template will have the right position.
Fix the template on the transom with tape.
Convcave bottom: Place one straightedge at the interceptor center and use one end of the template to find its right center position.
- Drill pilot holes
- Remove the template
- Drill holes
Only if a concealed thru-hull fitting will be used
Option 1:
- Pilot hole: Ø 3 mm (1/8″)
- Hole saw: Ø 19 mm (3/4″)
Option 2 (M18 x 2.5)
- Pilot hole: Ø 3 mm (1/8″)
- Hole saw: Ø 16 mm (5/8″)
- Tap: M18 x 2.5
INSTALL THE BACK PLATES

INSTALL THRU-HULL FITTINGS ABOVE THE WATERLINE
INSTALL CONCEALED THRU-HULL FITTINGS UNDER THE WATERLINE
INSTALL THE INTERCEPTOR FRONTS
PAINT THE INTERCEPTORS WITH ANTIFOULING
DISTRIBUTION UNIT
MOUNT THE DISTRIBUTION UNIT
Mount the distribution unit inboard where it is easy to connect it to both interceptors and power supply (battery) e.g. the engineroom or other suitable compartment.
NOTE!
The maximum cable length (including extra cable) from an interceptor to the
distribution unit is 6 m (20 ft).
CONNECT THE DISTRIBUTION UNIT
NOTE!
Detailed wiring diagram is available at the end of this folder.
NOTE! The system allows an unpaired Interceptor mounted on the center of the transom. A centerline mounted Interceptor should always be connected to port side 3 to work properly.
CONTROL PANEL
ROUTE CABLES
Route the cables between the control panel(s), the distribution unit and
optional equipment. Use optional extension cables if necessary.
A detailed wiring diagram is available at the end of this folder.
PREPARE THE DASH
The control panel must be mounted within certain angles relative to the boat’s axes for the built-in sensors to deliver reliable output.
Locate a free area on the dash suitable for mounting the control panel.
Use the control panel’s template as a guide to see if it will fit next to other instruments.
NOTE! 0.5 m (1.6 ft) safe distance to magnetic compass.
NOTE! Any angle betwen 0-180°
MOUNT THE CONTROL PANEL
Flush mount option: refer to www.zipwake.com for a drawing and 3D model.
Connect the cables on the back of the Control panel.
INITIAL START
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for detailed information about setting up and operating the system.
SET UP THE SYSTEM
Press and hold the POWER/MENU button until the Zipwake logo appears on the
display and follow the steps on the screen.
INTERCEPTOR CHECK
Carry out an Interceptor Check to verify function immediately after
installation, before launching the boat.
NOTE – All readings must be green!
Corrective actions are always necessary when excessive torque levels are
observed. Verify the flatness of the transom, excess use of sealant behind the
interceptor and/or excess antifouling between the blades and adjust if needed.
VERIFY FUNCTION ON SHORE
- Turn the Roll wheel clockwise
- Port side Interceptor(s) should move out
- Repeat counter-clockwise for starboard
