cover is held in position using magnets.

care when removing the hatch and
transporting the sailboat.
4. Pour the supplied ballast weight into
the hull and into the keel of the boat. Use
30-minute epoxy to secure the weights

the weights so they don't dislodge while

Hint: You can also use household paint
to secure the weights in the keel. Pour
enough paint into the keel to cover the
weights and allow it to dry overnight.
