SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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).
Concealed Behind

ALLOWED SPRAY RAIL OVERLAP

PROPELLER CLEARANCE
If the boat has an outboard engine or sterndrive, the Interceptors must be mounted with clearance to the propeller(s).

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.
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.

  1. Drill pilot holes
  2. Remove the template
  3. Drill holes

Multiple Interceptors

Only if a concealed thru-hull fitting will be used 

Option 1: 

  1. Pilot hole: Ø 3 mm (1/8″)
  2. Hole saw: Ø 19 mm (3/4″)

Option 2 (M18 x 2.5)

  1. Pilot hole: Ø 3 mm (1/8″)
  2. Hole saw: Ø 16 mm (5/8″)
  3. Tap: M18 x 2.5

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).
Mount Distribution

CONNECT THE DISTRIBUTION UNIT

NOTE!
Detailed wiring diagram is available at the end of this folder.

Wiring Diagram

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.
Route Cables

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.

Safe Distanc

NOTE! Any angle betwen 0-180°

MOUNT THE CONTROL PANEL

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.
Readings Must

VERIFY FUNCTION ON SHORE 

Verify Function

  1. Turn the Roll wheel clockwise
  2. Port side Interceptor(s) should move out
  3. Repeat counter-clockwise for starboard
