Install the steering servo. Push a piece of silicone tubing (82)
about 10 mm long onto the rudder bush (16) where it projects
at the top.
Push a piece of silicone tubing
(82) about 10 mm long onto the
rudder shaft (17).
Fit the propeller (not included in the kit) on the propeller shaft, and secure it by tightening the locknut. Slip the rudder
into the rudder bush (16), carefully pushing the shaft support (9) to one side to allow this. Fit the tiller (19) on the top
end of the rudder shaft. Push the parts together so that they are under light tension, then tighten the screw which
fixes the tiller (19) to the shaft. This holds the rudder in the correct position and at the same time provides a
waterproof seal.
Bend the rudder pushrod (93) to
shape and connect it to the servo
output arm and the tiller. Push the
plastic keepers (92) onto the pushrod
(93) to hold it in place.
The receiver and speed controller can be fixed to the inside of the hull using Velcro (hook-and-loop) tape. The
position of the battery varies according to the type of use you envisage for the boat.
Stick the strip of Velcro tape to the hull floor forward of the motor to secure the battery.
If you wish to use the model as a pusher (springer) tug, you will need to add ballast to trim the vessel correctly.
Ensure that the shaft tube is always lubricated with oil or grease.
Remove the battery from the model when it is not in use.
Have fun running your model!
