Note tongues to hold hatch.
Hard to see, but hatch is in place.
Prepare the hatch supports by sanding the
areas of the hatch and deck where the
supports will be glued. See page 56 for
details. Glue the supports to the hatch and
deck with medium CA. Be sure that they are
correctly installed, and clamp in place until
cured.
When cured, test fit the hatch in place. It
should be fully retained by the cowling.
Ride Pads
The ride pads go on the bottom of both
sponsons, and are the actual ride surface
for the hull. These lift the hull slightly out of
the water, and increase the top speed from
a reduction in drag.
Use epoxy to glue each ride pad to its
sponson bottom.
Note that the left ride pad is wider than the
right, the same as the sponson bottoms are
different widths. Mark the pads right and
left, and taper the front from nothing, to full
thickness for about the first ¾ inch or so.
