5/16 brass shaft tube in place.
Stinger drive in place.
Mark pushrod hole in transom.
Make a mark ½ inch up from the bottom (shaft
tube).
Make a mark 2-1/2 inches to the right of the
center line (rudder).
Make two marks that are each 1-1/2 inches from
the center, at the bottom (trim tabs).
Drill a 5/16 hole for the shaft tube, ½ inch up
from the bottom, on your mark.
Put your 5/16x18 inch brass shaft tube thru the
holes in bulkheads 4 and 5. Use a round file if
needed in bulkhead 4.
Grab your stinger drive. Center it on your guide
line, and mark the screw hole locations.
It helps to put the flex shaft in the stinger and
use this as a guide to getting the stinger aligned
with the shaft tube. The shaft should go in and
out of the stinger with no resistance.
If you feel resistance, the stinger and shaft tube
are not aligned, and your flex shaft will bind and
break. Get it correct.
Drill the holes in the transom, and bolt the
stinger assembly on.
Lightly sand the tops of the engine rails, where
the radio box will sit.
Set the box in place, making sure that the rear
of the box is against the transom. The rear of
the box has the hole up high.
With the box against the transom and centered
on the rails, trace the rudder pushrod hole
location on the inside of the transom.
