Remove
the 45 degree duct from the unit's side and the gluing tab from
the bottom of the vent.
This
vent can be used as is with a new duct on the starboard side
or you can make the following modification.
- Cut the
whole curl vent from the the motor unit. i.e. the cut should
be up and down behind the motor unit. Reshape the bottom of
the curl vent as seen in the diagram right.
- The curved
style of motor unit is incorrect and needs to squared up.
- To square
up the bottom curves take a piece of scrape plastic the same
width as the housing or slightly greater (Evergreen 2mm sheet
works well).
- Cut a
small square approx. 7mm x 7mm and then cut this in half diagonally.
Then file a curve in the center of each diagonal. Keep testing
them against the curves of the vent until you get them just
right, then CA glue the curve of the vent to the hollow in
the plastic triangle.
- When
dry trim off the excess plastic and file square.
- Glue
the curl vent onto the motor unit with the curl facing forward.
The
vent needs to be moved forward from the location marked on
the deck by half the distance that the vent's bottom is thick.
This reason for this is that a smaller curl vent needs to
be added behind this vent so you need to make room for it.
Make sure when you glue the vent to the deckhouse roof that
the back of the vent covers the hole the tab would have used.
