1. Next, tip the entire boat on its side to
install the keels and rudder. For sailing mode,
the proper fin and rudder configuration is
shown below in photo E1. Notice there are
two keels mounted in the forward position,
and the rudder is all the way aft. There is an
un-used finbox just forward of the rudder; this
position is only used for windsurfing mode.

2. To install the keels, follow the squence in E2 - E5. The first
step is to insert the Brass Fin Tab (plate) into the slot in the Fin
Box. This is best done using the Fin Screw (threaded onto the
Tab) and a screwdriver, as shown in photo E2. Insert the Fin Tab
at the center opening and push it forward into the slot in the Fin
Box.
3. Once inserted securely into the slot, slide the Fin Tab
(plate) as far forward as possible as shown in photo E3.
Once in position, remove the Fin Screw, leaving only the Fin
Tab in position at the front of the Fin Box.
4. Next, insert the Keel into the Fin Box center opening and slide it
backward into the slot as shown in photo E4.
5. Push the front of the Keel downward and align the screw hole
in the Keel with the screw hole in the Fin Tab in the slot below.
Once aligned, insert the Fin Screw as shown in photo E5. Carefully
confirm that the Fin Screw threads properly into the Fin Tab. Once
confirmed, use a screwdriver to tighten the Fin Screw and lock the
Keel securely to the hull. Repeat Steps E2 through E5 to secure
the second keel.
