. Take the Rudder Servo Mount and trim open the notch on the right side of the photo. Use your servo to mark the servo
hole in the top. The inner raised rectangle is roughly Mini Servo size. The outer edge of the recess is roughly Standard
Servo size. Drill a 1/8-inch hole at each corner of your measurements and connect the holes by scoring through with a knife.
Set the Rudder Servo mount into the hull with the notch touching the point on the Rudder Mount. Square the mount to the
hull and trace its outline on the hull with a pencil. Sand the hull and the flange of the mount where they will be bonded.
Apply a thin bead of sealant and set the Rudder Servo Mount into the hull aligning it with the Rudder Mount and the pencil
marks you made earlier.
Press into place. Wipe away any excess sealant. Set the Battery Tray into the Bow. It only fits into this location. Trim some
of it if it is larger than you need. Trace its outline onto the hull with a pencil. Sand the Tray and Hull at the point of contact.
If you plan to put a strip of Velcro

on the mount, do it now, before you apply sealant or do it tomorrow after the sealant has
cured some and before you install the Deck.
Once you are sure that the Rudder Mount is in the hole, remove the rudder and wipe off any sealant on the shaft. Clean with
mineral spirits if necessary. Check the mount to ensure it is in the hole. The end of the brass tube should be even with the
Hull as viewed from underneath. Re-insert the clean rudder shaft and clip the Safety Clip to the top. Use a paper towel to
wipe off any excess sealant on the bottom of the hull. Wipe up any excess sealant around the Mount. You can confirm the
alignment of the Rudder to the Keel.
