Cowling & Mast Post
Place the cowling on the bow and line up the holes. Ensure the mast post fits snugly
within the rack, immediately aft of the gennaker tack line shackle. Secure using the
supplied bolt and nyloc nut. Use the supplied screws and washers to secure the
cowling to the deck. The cleat console is supplied fitted to the cowling. Ensure strut is
fitted and micro-blocks are securely shackled to the rack.
Keel & Bulb
Position the bulb below the centreboard case, ensuring that the cavity is uppermost and
free of dirt and debris. Smear a small amount of grease or petroleum jelly on the
bottom 50mm of the centreboard faces and carefully lower through the centreboard
case into the bulb cavity, taking care to align the heavy bulb with the board. Push the
board home. Fit the supplied bulb pin with recessed phillips-head screws. Firmly
tighten screws on both sides of the bulb simultaneously. Repeat for the second pin.
Cockpit Options (Seats & Footrests)
Fit seats or footrests as required by clamping to the cockpit tracks.
