7. Assembly inside the hull
Brass tubes (29+30) are no longer needed, as
the new direct coupling can adjust motor
mount and propshaft directly.
Push propshaft and hose through the hole in
the hull and fit the motor on the motor mount.
Now attach the brass coupling between Motor
and prop shaft with grub screws M3. Please
check that there is a gap of about 1 mm be-
tween motor housing and coupling.
Now align the motor together with motor
mount, prop shaft and tube inside the hull. The
whole set should be placed well centered and
aligned inside the hull, that the tube of the prop
shaft is protruding 25 mm out of the hull. Dou-
ble check that the assembly is placed in the
centre of the hull.
Now fix the tube and the motor mount with
UHU Plus Acrylit inside the hull and fill the end
of the hull around the shaft with glue that it is
water tight.
After the glue is set, you can also fix the rudder
shaft in the same way.

8. Gluing the Deck
Now all interior is placed correctly inside the
hull. So it is time to fix the deck permanently on
the hull. Fix the deck with adhesive tape to the
hull in a way, that the side walls of the hull are
pressed equally to the deck without getting
waves.
Fix the deck at several points with thin super-
glue. After that you can fix the deck complete
with medium superglue. A good help is also
Activator spray to shorten the drying process.
After the glue is dry you should sand the over-
laying border of the hull down to deck level. If
some gaps have appeared, you can fill them
out with filler.
