interlocking them into the end pieces as shown.

q

 2. Secure the interlocking boat stand with

allow the CA or epoxy to fully cure before 
placing the boat on the stand.

Parts Required

Turn Fin
3mm hex screws (2)

Tools and Adhesives Needed

3mm hex driver
Blue threadlock

q

 1. Locate the included turn fin. This will be 

attached to the right sponson. Any attempt to 
turn the boat left may cause the boat to flip, 
especially if this is done in a tight diameter and 
at high speeds.

q

 2. Place the Formula Hydro on the completed 

boat stand once the glue has fully cured.

q

 3. Locate the turn fin and the included 3mm  

hex screws (2) to secure the turn fin.

q

 4. Carefully place a few drops of blue threadlock 

on the threads of both hex screws. This will help 
to keep the screws secured to the blind nuts 
within the sponson.

q

 5. Carefully attach the turn fin onto the right 

sponson as shown and tighten the hex screws 
with a 3mm hex driver.
