Anleitung Zusammenfassung
This rudder lock upgrade kit will allow you to apply more holding power for the rudder. To install this new system you will be removing the up/down handle that you are currently using. Follow the instructions below for the kit installation. 1. Using an Allen key wrench, unscrew the bolt that is passing through that handle and pull the handle off of the control arm shaft. 2. Push the control arm shaft in so that it falls in the hull. Reach inside the hull and grab the control arm to take both of the lines off of it. This part is to be removed from the hull as it won’t be needed anymore. Also, untie the bungee cord and loop of line from the small spectra lines. 3. Plug the hole that is created with the push in cap that is included with this kit. 4. To install the new tubes and lines, you will need to partially disassembly the rudder housing. Start by loosening the screws and unwrapping the lines completely from the two screws on the underside of the rudder and the one screw on top of the rudder near the main bolt. 5. Pull on the lines that exit the hull so that they completely pull out of the rudder housing. 6. With the up and down control lines loose, pull on them and remove them from the hull with the tubes. If they get hung up inside the hull, you can cut whatever is preventing you from taking out the lines. You will no longer need these lines and tubes with this kit. 7. With the old tubes and lines removed, install the new tubes with lines that are in this kit into the holes that you just removed the old tubes from. Getting the end fittings into the holes will be a tight squeeze, so you may need a small hammer to tap them into the holes so that they are fully installed. IMPORTANT: When these lines are installed, the right line will be for the DOWN control and the left line will be for the UP control. 8. Use a socket or a wrench and unthread the bolt that passes through the center of the rudder housing. This will allow the rudder to come apart. 9. Feed the DOWN control line through the two holes that are just above the rudder pin. When installed, the line will come on the inside of the rudder housing. 10. Feed the DOWN control line into the upper hole on the rudder part of the assembly and tie a knot in the end of the line to keep it from pulling through. Upper Hole Lower Hole the line. 11. Now feed the UP control line through the same two holes above the rudder pin to the inside of the rudder housing. Wrap the line so that it goes over top and around the drum. Insert the end of the line into the lower hole indicated in step 10 and tie a knot at the end of 12. Slide the bolt through the rudder portion of the assembly and place the plastic washer over the threaded end. Insert then end of the bolt into the housing and bolt the rudder assembly back together. As you insert the rudder half into the housing, you have to be careful to not allow the rudder lines fall off the track around the circular rudder drum. To prevent this, pull up on the up/down control lines that are exposed on the deck to remove the slack and keep the lines tight around the drum. Thread in the bolt to hold the two halves together. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT SCREW DOWN THE BOLT SO THAT IT IS TIGHT. YOU ACTUALLY WANT IT TO BE A FAIRLY LOOSE CONNECTION ALLOWING AN 1/8”-1/4” OF MOVEMENT. IF IT IS TOO TIGHT, THE RUDDER WILL NOT GO UP PROPERLY. 13. Take the ends of the lines that you fed through the rudder and make the loop so that it is small enough to pass a screw head through. The size of the loop isn’t that critical, but do not make it any more that 3/4” big. See the pictures below on how to tie the knot needed for this loop 14a. Place the loop around the screw and thread the screw back into the rudder. 14b. Follow the sample procedure with other screw and control line. 14c. Once the loops are held down with the screw, leave these lines alone for a bit and finish up the instructions below. 15. Locate the cleat in the kit and place it on the right side of the kayak along the forward edge of the map pocket. Center the middle of the cleat to the point of the corner of the rails. Draw a small dot on the kayak to locate a drilling location. The hole location should be slightly below the top of the cleat jaws. Drill Location 16. Drill a hole in the dotted location with a 5/16” drill bit 17. Insert one of the two the small length of rigid tube into the hole and press the black fitting at the end of the tube into the hole. It will be a tight fit, so you may need to give it a couple taps with a hammer to get it into the hole. 18. Locate the cleat on the right side map pocket just like in step 7 and use the holes in the cleat as a guide to drill two 11/64” holes through the map pocket frame and kayak hull material underneath it. Make sure to center the cleat along the width of the map pocket frame so that it rests on a nice flat surface. 19. Place the padeye fitting over the cleat. Using the provided hardware, through bolt the cleat to the kayak. You wil...
