It is a good idea at this point to install the rest of your radio gear.

❏ 

1. Locate the included foam padding and cut a 2" x 4" [51

x 102mm] section and install it in the bottom of the radio box.

❏ 

2. Place your receiver and battery holder (or battery

pack) in the radio box and plug in all connectors as specified
in the instruction manual of your radio system.

TIP: A balloon has been provided for you to insert your
receiver into. Simply insert the receiver into the balloon and
run the wires out of the mouth of the balloon. Use the
included rubber bands to seal up the mouth of the balloon.
This will help to protect your receiver in the event that you
flip your boat.

❏ 

3. Use a drill with a 7/32" [6mm] drill bit (or use a body

reamer) to make a hole in the radio box lid for the rubber
antenna exit seal. Keep the rubber throttle pushrod seal
nearby for test fit. Place a bead of CA glue on the rubber
antenna exit and insert it in the radio box lid as shown.

TIP: Make the hole right above where the receiver lies so
that there is a minimum of antenna wire running through the
radio box.

❏ 

4. Insert the antenna tube into the rubber antenna exit

and thread the antenna up through the tube as shown.

❏ 

1. Locate the two (2) 2-56 metal pushrods and two (2)

steering link clevises and assemble them as shown. These
are the steering linkages.

❏ 

2. Insert the steering linkages into the radio box as

shown and place the radio box in the radio box seat on the
hull. Attach the clevis ends of the pushrods to the inner
holes of the steering arm of the engine as shown.

TIP: Carefully remove the outer hole material of the O.S. .21
outboard steering arm. This will save you from having to trim
the cowling to clear the arm.

THROTTLE LINKAGES
