Thread the nylon clevis onto the threaded coupler, as shown. The clevis will be a tight fit on the coupler and it may be necessary to hold the coupler with a pair of pliers while turning the clevis.




 

Turn the radio on and center the rudder trim knob, as shown.



This will center the rudder servo's output arm. Also, align the rudder parallel to the keel. Connect the clevis to the output arm on the servo and mark the location of the coupler on the braided cable, as shown. Then, remove the clevis from the servo and unscrew it from the coupler.

Use the cutting jaws of the needle nose pliers or a pair of dykes to cut through the braided cable 1/2" ahead of the mark, as shown. Insert the cable into the hole in the threaded coupler and solder the two parts together.





Screw the clevis onto the coupler and re-connect it to the servo output arm. Adjust this linkage so that the rudder is parallel to the keel when the rudder trim lever is centered, as shown above.
 

Installing Radio Gear



Position the rudder so that it is 90⁰ to the left of the keel, as shown. Place the steering arm on the rudder shaft and tighten the set screw on the steering arm.





Apply solder to the last 1" of the braided steering cable. Then, use a pair of pliers to make a sharp 90⁰ bend in the last 1/2" of the soldered end of the cable, as shown. Insert the other end of the cable into the nylon steering tube. Insert the bent end of the cable into the inside hole in the steering arm, as shown.

 



Use double sided servo mounting tape to mount the rudder servo to the right side of the hull, as shown here and on the plan. It is to be positioned so the servo's output arm is just under the braided cable, as shown.

Roger's Notes:  If the output arm hits the hull planking, remove the arm and cut off that portion of the output arm with a razor saw, as shown.
