1. Lift the lock down rod to release it
from plastic lockup keeper.
2. Push the rudder to the fully down
position.
3. Align the lockdown pin with the hole
and squeeze the end of the lock
down rod and the tiller arm to press
it into position.
4. The lockdown rod should be set to
the correct length from the factory. If
for any reason you have to adjust it,
simply undo the lock nut and rotate
the rod to shorten or lengthen it. The
rod should be under a medium
amount of compression when in the
lockdown position, such that there is
a small bow in the rod.
