Apply
Slow CA to the groove in K1. Press the stuffing box into the
groove. The groove in K1 will cause the stuffing box to
self-align when it is pushed into the groove. The back end of
the stuffing box should stick out 1/16" to 1/8" beyond the back
end of K1, as shown. Hold it in position until the Slow CA has
cured.

Apply Slow CA to the edge of
K3 that will contact the stuffing box. Lay K3 flat on the
building board. Press it into contact with the stuffing box so
that its top edge is aligned with the drawing of K3 on the plan.
Roger's Notes:
If, when installing K3, the back edge of this part does not
align with the drawing, that is OK. It is more important that K3
be aligned as described above. Later, after the keel is removed
from the plan, the edges of K3 indicated by the arrows can be
sanded or built up with scrap wood to match the plan.
