Seakeeper Ride | Mechanical Installation Manual

11.1. Prepare Parts and Hull

  1. Wipe the area to be bonded with acetone or denatured alcohol and plain white paper towels.
  2. Replace the tape around the border of the abraded portion of the transom where the Transom Plate will be mounted. Mask around the mounting location as well as the bottom of the boat. The tape will help keep the surrounding gelcoat clean of adhesive. The inside of the Cable Gland should be covered to avoid adhesive from entering the gland, particularly when installing with a Concealed Cable Entry as indicated in Section 10.1.
