Place a piece of masking tape down the vertical
centerline of the transom. Draw a line down the
centerline.
Bend above deck portion of Tang slightly forward
so it will point toward the top of the mast. Locate
the Backstay Tang along the centerline and drill (2)
1/16" diameter holes for two screws as shown.
Install Tang using (2) 1/4' x #2 Panhead philips screws.
Use a “Uni-Bit” or Step-Bit” to drill a 1/4" diameter hole
for Drain Plug on starboard side of transom (also serves
as access hole for Rudder Linkage).
Drill (2) 9/64" diameter holes through aluminum Sail Control Arm so that they line up with two holes on the nylon
Servo Disc. Attach as shown using (2) small black pan head screws that came in your Hardware Kit.
Cut a 12 1/2” length of 1/8”Ø Carbon Fiber tube. Use CA Glue to bond a piece of #2-56 threaded rod into one end of the
tube, and the “Z” bend wire into the other end. Thread the Clevis onto the #2-56 threaded rod. The total length from
the “Z” bend to the Clevis Pin should be 13 3/4”.
If you have not already done so, Assemble your ODOM Boat Stand.
You are now ready for final assembly and rigging.
