Then push the tiller arm down firmly (Photo
5) so it locks in place. Do the same to lower
other rudder.
NOTE: THE RUDDER MUST BE ALL
THE WAY DOWN before the tiller arm will
latch. If the tiller arm is not latched, the rudder
will not be "locked down" and will kick back
while sailing, causing difficult steering.
TO RAISE THE RUDDERSIiftupon ONE
tiller arm, unlocking the rudder, and pull all the
way forward to the "locked up" position. Do
the same to raise other rudder.
ADJUSTING RUDDER "KICK-UP" RELEASE
Your rudders will automatically kick up if
they hit the beach or some heavy obstacle in
the water while sailing. (They can be locked
down again by simply following the procedure
for lowering the rudders.) However, if they
should NOT kick up when necessaty or should
kick up too easily, you can remedy the
problem by a simple adjustment
Inside the upper rudder housing there is a
nylon bolt with a screw head that can be
tightened or loosened to control the "kick·up"
release. Using a screwdriver (Photo 7) TIG HTEN
THE BOLT ONE TURN CLOCKWISE OR
MORE TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF
PRESSURE NECESSARY TO KICK UP THE
RUDDER. Loosen the bolt one turn counter-
clockwise for the opposite result
NOTE: Use a large head screwdriver for
making adjustments. You should find the rud.
ders are pre.set at the proper tension, making
adjustment unnecessary.

ATTACHING THE
RIGHTING LINE
The righting line should be 15 feet by
one-half inch. Tie one end around the chain
plate and store the excess in such a way so it is
easy to free when needed.
