Fitting the Skeg, & Bilge Pieces, & Aluminum Keel Band

The skeg is attached exactly as per the kit instructions.  The keel band is shown in all these photos already installed.
		Make sure to countersink the holes enough so that the screws do not protrude.  A drill press is ideal for this job.
The skeg is positioned at the rear of the hull, and is attached by fiberglass tape and epoxy.  Before attaching is, round the oblong hole in the skeg.  This will be used to carry your Mirror
		The aluminum keel band is shown already attached in these photos.  It is actually installed a little later.
The bilge pieces are installed by locating the blocks that hold the side panels to the hull.  Use the measurements for installing these blocks to locate the points where you should install the bilge pieces.  The aluminum keel band can also be seen in this photo, which is installed on both sides of the centerboard opening.
