Open up the ring-screw 36, fit the
return pulley 37 on it, then close
the loop again. Glue the ring-
screw in the pulley bracket 35.
Screw the external fittings to the
model as shown in this
illustration, using screws and /
or glue.
Screw the steering bar to the
Aqua Race 60 motor.
Assemble the throttle
lever from the three
parts as shown, and
glue it to the inside of
the cockpit.
Thread the braided steel wire 49 through the hole
in the central part of the return pulley 30, leaving
equal lengths protruding. Now wind two complete
turns onto the pulley in both directions. Run the
steel wire from the underside of the pulley through
the slots in the cockpit sides 16, and attach a
clothes peg to each end to keep them in place. Fit
a locknut 48 on each of the bottle-screws 47,
unscrew the assemblies as far as possible, and
screw them to the brackets 38. Slip the steel wire
through the front and rear pulleys 37. Thread the
steel wire through the crimp sleeve 50 and the
loop in the bottle-screw, then back through the
crimp sleeve 50. Repeat the procedure on the
opposite side, set the wires under light tension,
then clamp them by crimping both sleeves 50
twice using round-jaw pliers.

If the motor steering bar is wider
than 70 mm, you will need to fix the
bottle-screws directly to the steering
bar, otherwise there will not be
sufficient travel. Alternatively you
could use a servo with 180° travel.
