are snug the glue squeezes out.
Clean up the glue with a wet rag and a putty
knife. (fig. 3B)
Repeat the process for the opposite fender.

ers should face the same direction as the paddle.
(fig. 4A) Be sure the bottom of the paddle is flush
with the axle.
Center the paddle with the countersunk holes
facing upward. (fig. 4A) There should be about
1” space between the paddle and the fender on
either side.
Mark your edges with a pencil to be sure nothing
gets bumped out of place. (fig. 4B)
Drill 7/64” pilot holes, starting with either end.

the paddle in place while you drill the other pilot
holes. (fig. 4C)
