Optional Tools:
❏
Ultimate Body Reamer (DTXR1157)
BOW: The front of the boat
STERN: The back of the boat
PORT: This is the left side of the boat when aboard and
facing the front (bow). An easy way to remember this is that
both port and left contain four letters.
STARBOARD: This is the right side of the boat when
aboard and facing the front (bow).
HULL: The body of the boat.
DECK: The top of the boat
SPONSON: The projections at either side of hull that give
lateral stability on the water.
HOOKING: The effect caused when one of the sponsons
digs into the water and violently spins the rear of the boat
around. This usually stalls the engine.
Do not use too much force when tightening self-tapping
screws. Overtightening will cause the threads in the material
to strip. We recommend that you stop turning a self-tapping
screw once you feel some resistance as the head of the
screw comes in contact with the material. Avoid using
powered screwdrivers when assembling this kit. They tend
to overtighten the screws. Do not use thread-locking
