RE: the unofficial home of the dumas dauntless
i allmost forgot if yoy put the rudders inthe holes it helps line up the shafts by sliding the struts on the shafts and then slide the shafts forward you will see were they toucth they should toucth the lines you made the rudder holes are the key once the rudder holes are there you can line the shafts to the holes and the lines this keeps them strait.

RE: the unofficial home of the dumas dauntless
the first thing was to mesure 2/1/2 in from the keel on the inside of the hull and mark where the rudder blocks go at center then drill at center once the holes are drilled then i mesured 2/1/2 from the center of keel on the bottom made 2 lines to go by then mesure 2/3/8s from the rudder holes thats were the struts start i glued the struts on with a drop of 5 min epoxy once i made shure they were in line then slid the shafts in the struts this tells me were the tubes go thrue the hull by making the 2 lines on the bottom it keeps the shafts in line then i drilled the hole with a long bit you just have to keep cutting the hole longer until the shaft and tube fits then i epoxyed with thick 5 min epoxy to set them in i hope this helps here some pix
