Install the rudder and rudder horn. Position the rudder as close to the hull as possible and still let it turn. Tighten the setscrew using the Allen wrench supplied.
Remove the rudder horn and install a ball joint ball in the inner hole on the starboard side.
File a small, narrow flat on the steel rudder shaft where it is marked by the rudder horn screw. This will retain the rudder even if the screw is not tight.
Remove the unused port side rudder horn.
Reinstall the rudder using Vaseline on the rudderpost.
Install a nylon ball socket on one end of the rudder linkage rod (a 1/16 inch diameter steel rod threaded on both ends). Insert it through the hole in the steering pedestal and the hole in the aft face of the cockpit. Install a nylon ball socket on the forward end.
Remove the arm from the rudder servo. Install the ball in a hole ~5/8 inches from the center of the servo shaft.
Turn on the Tx and the boat. Channel 1, the right hand control stick, controls the rudder. Center the trim lever below the control stick
Reinstall the arm 90 degrees to the axis of the boat as shown in the illustration for the Electronic Mounting Board.
Adjust the ball sockets so that the rudder is centered when the rudder trim is centered.
Check the installation by moving the rudder control stick full left and right.
Use the "servo reverse" switch to set your preference of "tiller" or "wheel" steering.
Turn off the boat and the transmitter.
Install the keel using the brass keel nut after liberally coating the shaft with Vaseline or a waterproof grease.
