Take any extra filled epoxy and
place it around the Motor Base to
better bond it to the walls of the Hull
Liner recess. Let the epoxy fully cure.
Use a push-pin to press marks
through the template onto the
transom. Drill four 1/16th inch holes
at the pin marks on the transom.
Carefully trim the Rudder Template.
Align and tape the template to the
Transom. Set the Rudder on the Template
to check Prop-Rudder alignment.
Use one of the rudder mounting
screws to thread the holes for the
rudder. Use some pressure to help the
screw bite into the PVC reinforcement
without causing the Hull to pull away.
Drill the mounting holes with a
1/16th inch bit, and the center hole
1/4 to 3/8ths inch diameter. Remove
the rudder from the transom.
Temporarily install the rudder with 2
screws. Use the Bru-Line
™
Pushrod
Boot Bracket as a template to mark the
centers for three holes needed.

Set the Motor Assembly into the
Hull Liner. Work quick. Even 30-
minute epoxy will cure too fast!
