To install the rudder, begin by opening the rudder access cover (loosen in a counter‐
clockwise direction). Run the rudder post up through the rudder housing in the hull of
the ski (photo 5). Then put the rudder pin through the small hole in the top of the
rudder post and center the pin (photos 6 and 7). The pin ensures the rudder post is
firmly captured and cannot spin in the spreader bar assembly once the assembly is
tightened. Place the spreader bar over the top of the rudder post (photo 8) and tighten
the two spreader bar bolts so that the top of the rudder post and the pin ends are
pinched and held fast. Tighten the screws with the allen wrench (photos 9 and 10).
