9.3 Installing the Steering Control
Remove the screws from steering control cover plate located on the left side of the boat. Retain the screws. Save the steering
control cover plate for possible future use. Unwrap the steering control cords from the steering control (J). Align the handle
of the steering control (J) to the vertical position so that is centered vertically between the mounting holes on the wings at
the base of the steering control (J) handle. The cord exit holes on the back of the steering control (J) assembly should be on
the left side. Pull the top cord to right and drape it into the top groove of the steering control (J) pulley. Pull the bottom cord
down and to the right and align on the underside of the steering control (J) pulley.
Locate the preinstalled tubing entrances on the right side of the inside lip of the steering control mounting recess location
of the kayak. Thread the end of the top cord from the steering control (J) into the top tubing entrance and feed until the cord
exits the left tubing exit at the stern transom of the boat where the rudder (B) is attached. Thread the end of the bottom cord
of the steering control (J) into the bottom tubing entrance and feed until the cord exits the right tubing exit at the stern transom
of the boat where the rudder (B) is attached.
Carefully insert the steering control (J) into the mounting recess of the kayak. Ensure the top cord stays to the top of the pulley
and the bottom cord stays to the bottom of the pulley. Make sure the cords do not become pinched between the mounting
recess of the kayak and the steering control (J) base when inserting into the recess. Install and secure the steering control (J)
with the two screw removed from the steering control cover plate.
