Cut the hole in the ship by sawing in polyester, aluminium or wood, or by acetylene cutting for
steel.
Remove all burrs carefully and smooth the edges.
These portholes have a clamp profile; fixing holes in the side of the ship are NOT necessary.
Apply a sufficient amount of sealant to ensure a good seal, see drawing 1, page 16.
Position the hatch in the hole.
Fixing Screws:
Use M4 screws in accordance with DIN965 (ISO7046) of DIN966 (ISO7047). Choose a screw length
related to the wall thickness, see Table in Drawing 1. D= Clamp Reach, L= Screw Length.
Fit screws and tighten securely.
