The keel will be higher than the bulkheads.
The keel has a little tab that snaps into bulkhead 1.
Be sure it is all the way in.
Now look at bulkhead 5. Is it twisted or warped? If
so, clamp a piece of wood to the back of it for the
next few steps.
Check the fit of the engine rails into bulkheads 3, 4
and 5.
You may have to tap the rails down into the
bulkheads.
Use a straightedge to be sure that the engine
rails are 100% flat. The bottom has to be
perfectly flat, and this is the first step.
Check to be sure all bulkheads are square to the
building jig (90 degrees).
Glue in the engine rails with
30 minute epoxy
or
Titebond III.
Bulkhead 5 must be 90 degrees to the building
jig.
Use the engine rails to establish this.
Double check this, as it is the most common mistake
made.
Glue the laminated shaft support into the slots. You
will have to spread the rails apart slightly to do this.
Lightly clamp this in place if needed.
