[Rhodes22-list] ST1000 installation

[Chris Cowie]

I have the same set up and it works great, I use it all the time.  My power cord connects to a power source located below the bench thru the vertical lazaret wall so it is out of the weather and has less cord than the power source in the coming.  I don't have the remote transmitter and don't see the need for it.

I did this last summer.  You probably already have Bill Wickman's PDF that shows how did it, but just in case, I'll attempt to attach a copy.

With this in hand, the installation went smoothly.

Bill states that in the place where he drilled the hole for the pin the fiberglass was thick enough that no additional bracing was needed.  
  On my boat the fiberglass was less than 1/4" thick at that location, so I backed it up with a 3/4 block of wood epoxied in place.

Also, at the place where you drill the hole the fiberglass is not quite horizontal.  Drill the hole perpendicular to the surface rather than vertical.  This will make the top of the pin sit flush, which will look better.

I think you'll enjoy your new toy.
