Optional DIY keel installation idea:

Question: How to install optional keel?

Answer: The FCB365, built as a flat-bottom model, can be upgraded with an optional do-it-yourself keel system to improve tracking and handling. This modification uses a long semi-rigid insert positioned under the deflated air floor to create a keel-like profile.

Begin by attaching two Velcro retaining straps to the lower interior surface of the hull, directly underneath where the air floor sits. These straps are designed to hold the selected keel insert securely in place. The simplest insert option is a large-diameter foam pool noodle, which can be purchased at common retail stores for a few dollars. Once the air floor is removed, place the foam noodle along the centerline, slide it under the Velcro straps, and reinstall the air floor. When the floor is inflated, the compressed noodle forms a raised center section that mimics the function of an inflatable keel, improving stability and straight-line tracking.

For users requiring additional stiffness, a section of PVC pipe may be inserted inside the foam noodle before installation. This creates a more rigid composite structure. With the Velcro straps holding the assembly firmly beneath the air deck, this DIY modification provides an effective method to enhance the FCB365’s directional control and overall performance.
