Then, run the new line through the tubing, through the steering toe piece and secure it through
the adjustment screw on the bow end of the track.

When tying off to the rudder, you want the back face of the foot peg and back face of the toe
piece to be inline. One person can hold the toe piece at the correct angle, while the second ties
off the steering line on the rudder while the rudder is straight. This can be accomplished solo,
but it can take a few tries.
For removing the rudder blade from the steering housing, you want the rudder to be retracted on the
deck. Simply remove the pin from the side of the rudder and then pull out the locking plug. Then pull the
knot from the rudder blade to complete removal.
To replace the rudder blade, you will put the knot into the hole and run the retraction line around the
bottom of the rudder blade rope guide. Then insert the rudder into the housing horizontally, with the
leading edge of the blade facing upwards. Then simply insert the plastic locking knob through the housing
and rudder blade and insert the pin to lock in place.
Skeg:
If you want to remove the skeg, you simply loosen the screw in the handle on the deck and then rotate
the blade out of the housing in the hull. There is a pin at the bow end of the skeg box holding the skeg in
the boat, so you will need to rotate the skeg about 90 degrees to remove it.
