Slip the rudder in from the bottom and check to
see if it is straight up and down and centered
behind the prop.
If it is off, you can open up the hole in the
bottom a tiny bit and shift the tube until it is
straight.
When you are happy with this, glue the tube in
place.
Be sure to leave a tiny bit sticking out the
bottom and double check for square.
Keel Shoe
The keel shoe does several things.
It provides a lower support for the rudder and
protects the prop form obstacles.
The keel shoe needs some work before we can
install it.
The first thing we need to do is install the
bushing for the rudder.
This is simply a piece of plastic tube that gets
glued in place.
Grab the small piece of white plastic tubing and
check the fit in the shoe.
This bushing goes in the last hole (the rounded
end of the shoe).
If all is well, carefully glue in place. Leave some
sticking out of both sides.
Do not get any glue inside the bushing.
Allow to cure.
