3) Line up the hole in the top of the
rudder
with the hole in the
rudder stock
.
4) Push the bolt through the
stock
and the
rudder
. Make sure that you line up the head
of the bolt with the recess in the plastic washer, and that the little lugs on the plastic
washer line up with the holes in the
stock
.
It may need a little tap to get it through!
5) Refit the plastic wing nut and tighten. The nut should be tight enough to stop the
rudder
slopping about in the
stock
, but not tight enough to make it hard to rotate the
rudder
.
6) Tie the
rudder downhaul block
onto the rope that you have threaded into the
stock
.
7) Take the
rudder downhaul
rope and tie one end onto the bridge of the
cleat
at the
front end of the
tiller
.
8) Thread the other end of the
rudder downhaul
rope through the
rudder downhaul
block
, and then back through the
cleat
on the top of the tiller (see picture 4.18).
9) Tie a
figure-of-eight knot
in the end.
