Sharpen the turn fin. Using a file (or grinder)
and 220 grit paper, sharpen the right side of the
turn fin only.
The front and bottom should be sharp, and the
back flat.
Put the turn fin in its mount, and bolt it onto the
sponson with the ¼-20 screws, into the blind
nuts.
Install the engine.
We install the engine with pipe and carb
attached.
It takes some pressing and wiggling, but it will
go.
Install the radio box.
Install the shaft tube.
Install the strut, pushing the end of the shaft
tube all the way in. Leave the strut loose in the
brackets.
Put the boat on a flat surface. You can hang the
turn fin over the side of the table.
Block up the transom 1-1/4 inch from the table.
Be sure to leave at least 3/8 inch gap here.
Tighten the strut in the brackets.
Install the rudder assembly
Install the flex shaft.
Install the fuel bag and fuel lines. Install
water outlets.
Install water lines.
Push the rudder and throttle pushrods
through the pushrod seals.
Attach both ends of the pushrods, making
sure the seals are on the outside of the
radio box.
Make sure all your water lines are firmly
attached. Use those teeny little tie wraps
at each fitting.
Center of Gravity
The CG is very important.
The CG is at bulkhead 3.
Check the CG with everything installed
and no fuel in the tank.
To check the CG, pick the boat up with
one finger on each side of bulkhead 3.
The boat should balance within ½ inch of
bulkhead 3.
If it is tail heavy, add as much weight as
necessary to balance.
Don’t worry about the weight. The boat
can handle it.
This is critical. If the CG is any farther
back, the boat will blow off the water at
high speeds
, as well as “hop” in the turns.
