flat section of the metal Rudder Shaft.

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 with the top grub screw when the boat is first powered up with the radio gear
switched on.

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:-
