ISO-PAD

Designed and Manufactured by Warehouse Hobbies/ENFORCER MFG.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step #1

Measure 1/2" up from the bottom of the Vee hull. Make a mark dead center above the Vee as shown.		 Step #2

Using a 3/8" center drill bit, drill on the mark from step #1.
 
Step #3

Clean the inside of the contact area with Acetone.


 		 Step #4

Before permanently installing the Iso-Pad, test fit making sure the shaft log extends the thickness of the transom to end up flush with the outside of the hull. The shaft tube can easily be pushed in and out to allow for this adjustment.
Step #5
Apply the silicone adhesive liberally running a bead around the perimeter and bottom contact area of the Iso-Pad as shown.		 Step #6

Also run a bead of silicone on the rear edge which contacts the inside transom, this will form a water-tight seal.
Step #7

Firmly press the Iso-Pad evenly into the bottom of the hull flush with the inside of the transom until the excess silicone adhesive is squeezed out along the edges. It is extremely important to keep the shaft tube centered during this step. 		Step #8

Place two wood blocks on top of the Iso-Pad as shown.
 
Step #9

Place another wood block on top of the previously placed wood blocks. Carefully set a heavy object on top of this block. Allow this to set over night. Vibration dampening shaft tube mounting pad is designed for surface drive applications where the shaft tube doubles as a engine nose mount. Easy to install, and requires no fiberglass or resins		 Step #10

After the Iso-Pad adhesion has thoroughly cured, a bead of silicone can be applied against the transom as shown.



 


 

NOTICE:

1. Clean the Iso-Pad and inside contact area with a clean acetone wet rag prior to installation.

2. When bending the shaft tube make a gradual bend not exceeding a 30 degree angle. Make sure to test fit the Iso-Pad with shaft tube installed prior to permanent assembly. There should be very little downward pressure applied to the front of the shaft tube to cause the front of the iso-pad to make contact with the bottom of the hull. If a considerable amount of downward force is required to do so, use a 3/8 inch round file and slightly raise the transum hole (oblong) until the iso-pad with shaft tube fits properly in place.

3. Use GE Silicon II clear for installation. Allow a minimum of 6-8 hours to set prior to installing the engine.
