Hull Set Up
Keel Installation- Locate the fin into the bulb and fasten with the M4 Cap screw provided, then
insert the fin to the hull and secure with the M3 screw provided. No need to over tighten.
Rudder Installation- Insert the rudder and slide the tiller arm down over the shaft. Tighten the cap
screw onto the shaft. Check that is swinging freely. You may want to space the rudder down from
the hull with a temporary piece of paper to prevent binding on the hull when rudder is off centre.
Drop in your rudder servo with the spline forward, and secure with the M3 screws provided. Slide
the steering push rod into your desired hole on the servo horn. Usually you would use the furthest
hole from the spline to achieve lots of throw. Only instal the horn onto the servo once your
electrics are fired up and centred which may come a bit later.
A sticky back dacron sticker will needed to cover and water tight this hatch once ready to sail. A
digital servo is recommended for more accurate centering. About 5-8 kg torque.
Winch Installation- The winch tray is cut for an RMG winch. Install the winch with the M3 screws.
It may take some jiggling to get into position and possibly the need to squash the wiring a bit
flatter underneath to allow room.
For your winch line, cut an over length piece of line and thread the ends in through the exit tubes
at the back end of the boat and pick up the ends inside the hull. Thread the inboard line through
the fairlead that protrudes off the mainsheet post. This will be the return line which will go around
the bottom groove of the drum on the port side (clockwise). The other line will go direct to the top
groove of the drum, anti-clockwise. Give each line about 4-5 turns on the drum and instal the
drum. You may like to temporarily apply some tabs of masking tape each side of the drum to hold
the lines captive for when they might go slack and want to fall off. Set up and terminate the ends
of the line above deck as per the diagram, threading through the deck eye and using a rubber O
ring to keep tension. Once you are happy with the set up, be sure to remove drum before
powering up the winch. You may need to follow the winch set up guide to set travel on your winch
but in short, set your transmitter to maximum in position so the winch comes to maximum possible
in position, then reinstall the winch drum with the O ring wound as far aft along the deck as
possible. You will be able to make the main and jib sheet to suit this position. A dab of sealant can
