3) Line up the hole in the top of the rudder with the hole in the rudder stock.
4) Push the bolt through the stock and the rudder. Make sure that you line up the head
of the bolt with the recess in the plastic washer, and that the little lugs on the plastic
washer line up with the holes in the stock. It may need a little tap to get it through!
5) Refit the plastic wing nut and tighten. The nut should be tight enough to stop the
rudder slopping about in the stock, but not tight enough to make it hard to rotate the
rudder.
6) Tie the rudder downhaul block onto the rope that you have threaded into the stock.
7) Take the rudder downhaul rope and tie one end onto the bridge of the cleat at the
front end of the tiller.
8) Thread the other end of the rudder downhaul rope through the rudder downhaul
block, and then back through the cleat on the top of the tiller (see picture 4.18).
9) Tie a figure-of-eight knot in the end.
