RUDDER ASSEMBLY

1 Identify all Rudder components from box.

2 Insert Rudder into Hull.

3 Loosely fit the metal Rudder Arm on to the Steering Connector Rod and slide down over metal Rudder Shaft. Ensure the Rudder is

pushed fully up into the Hull then, pushing the Rudder Arm down, tighten the grub screw. This will locate on the flat section of the metal

Rudder Shaft.

4 Set the Rudder Blade so that it's in perfect fore/aft alignment and tighten the top grub screw to locate the tiler arm onto the Steering

Connector Rod.

Note: Rudder alignment will need to be checked and adjusted when the boat is first powered up with the radio gear switched on.

MAINSAIL RIGGING

Note: Before you start building the rig it's important that you read the three points below, they apply to the whole of the rigging procedure.

To avoid the Dyneema cord fraying when cut, put a few drops of thin CA glue into the cord at the position of the cut then cut through the

glued cord at an angle. You will then have a hard, sharp point to the cut end that will be easy to thread through the Bowsies.

After tying a knot and trimming off any spare cord, put a drop of thin CA glue on the knot to secure it. Extra time spent securing all knots

at this stage will ensure the long term reliability of the boat.

Thread all Bowsies correctly as shown in the following diagram:-
