DRIVE TRAIN - WTC Locating Pin Installation

	1. In order to position your WTC in the same location within the hull every time it is installed, a locating pin should be installed. The piece consists of a cast resin base contoured to fit the inner hull and a 1/8" brass pin.
	2. Using a 1/8" bit, drill a hole in the lower horizontal centerline of the WTC's ballast tank. WARNING: Do not drill the hole in the dry compartments of your WTC - only the ballast tank.
	3. Test fit the locating pin in the hole. Lay the WTC in position in the hull and check it's clearance and attitude. The WTC should sit properly in the saddles and should remain level in the boat. If the locating pin's base is too high, slide it next to a WTC saddle and mark it. Grind down the high area with a belt sander or Dremel sanding drum until the base is the same height as the saddle.
	4. Rough sand the bottom of the locating pin foundation and the inner hull where it will be glued. Mix a batch of 2 hour epoxy. Brush epoxy onto the bottom of the WTC locating pin foundation. Reinstall the WTC in the hull with the pin in place. Allow the epoxy to cure completely. Once the glue is dry, remove the WTC. It can be installed correctly, and identically, every time.

Why a Locating Pin?

The WTC locating pin ensures proper registration of the WTC within the hull each time it is installed. This is critical in maintaining the proper alignment of the drive train and control linkages.
