Exhaust Stack
The supplied stack is pre-beveled dowel.
Glue together as shown.
If you are painti
ng your Tugster, don’t glue the
stack or wheelhouse yet.
Ballast
Put your tug in the bathtub. Make sure it is fully
ready to run.
Add weight (a lot) until the hull sits at the
designed water line as shown on last page.
Note that the transom is in the water, but the
nose is out.
This gives a slightly nose up ride, and helps
keep the bow wave from coming over the deck.
When satisfied, use sealer or epoxy to secure
the ballast.
We mix epoxy and BB’s then pour the mixture in
the boat.
Make sure you put the deck and wheelhouse in
place, and the battery and everything else
should be installed.
Tip:
You can add ballast under the rudder servo if
needed.
