Confirm the 3/8-inch space and clamp with a clothespin. Put some filled epoxy over and around the 4 Cockpit Magnets to
better hold them in place. If your epoxy is beginning to harden, mix a small fresh batch to do this. Set aside to cure.
Build a Stand for the Keel.
Get or make a box at least 6 inches high, 5 inches wide and 12 inches long. Lay your Keel on it
to mark where the leading edge of the Keel intersects the top. Cut a 1/2-inch slot in the top to that point. In this box it was 10
inches. The length depends on the height of the box.
Cut a 2-inch wide slot in the back stopping 1-inch above the floor of the box. Reinforce the end of the slot with tape and
cardboard. Set the Keel into the box. It should sit roughly level. Adjust the end of the slot if needed.
