Installation Procedure for A/R Planes |
|
|
Tools required: |
 |
|
¼ inch drill bit & drill motor |
|
|
|
|
|
5/32 Allen wrench |
|
|
2 "C" clamps |
|
|
Anti-Seize compound |
|
|
Setup Instructions |
|||
| 1 | Remove Propeller (not necessary on some drives) |
|
|
| 2 | Use the Bubble Level on the Large Anti-Ventilation plate (above the Prop) and adjust the trim until it is level. It may be easier to use the tongue jack on the trailer to get a finer adjustment. (See Figure 1) | ||

| 3 | Position the Port side A/R Plane (the one with ¼ inch holes) fore and aft on the skeg, so that the angles on the front and the rear, match the ends and bottom of the skeg |  |
|
| 4 | Hold the Level along the top of the surface of the A/R Plane and once it is level, use the "C" clamps to hold it in position. Use masking tape on the ends of the "C" clamp to avoid scratching the A/R Plane. (See Figure 2) | ||

the A/R Plane as a drill jig,
drill holes in the skeg with the ¼
inch drill. |
 |
|
| 6 | Remove
the "C" Clamps, and any burrs from the skeg. |

| 7 | Use only Anti-Seize compound on the threads of the Bolts, (See Figure 4) | ||
|

| 8 | Install the A/R Planes using the bolts in the center first. It is easiest to start all of the bolts before tightening any of them. Tighten from the Center outward until the A/R Planes are flush with skeg surface. |  |

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN BOLTS. (Figure 5) |
