Tekuaha hikuHe whānuitia te whakamahinga i runga i ngā taraka maha nā te mea he tere, he watea hoki te uta me te tango i ngā waka. Ehara i te mea ka taea te whakamahi mō te uta me te tango i ngā waka anake, engari hei tatau hiku mō ngā taraka. Ko te kaiwhakahaere anake ka taea te whakaheke i te tatau hiku, ā, he mārō ake i te tatau o muri o te motuka, nō reira he mahi tiaki haumaru anō hoki. He maha ngā kaihoko kāore e mōhio me pēhea te whiriwhiri i te tatau hiku tika mō te motuka. I tēnei rā ka kōrero ahau ki a koe mō te whiriwhiri i te tatau hiku tika mō te motuka.
1. Whakatauhia te momo keti hiku e ai ki te kaupapa motuhake o te waka me te momo utanga hei kawe;
2. Ko te kaha hiki me te rahi o te hiki hiku ka whakatauhia e te taumaha me te rōrahi o te utanga uta me te tango utanga kotahi me te rahi whakawhiti-wāhanga o te waka;
3. E ai ki ngā tawhā hangarau matua o te waka (te roa o te whakatārewatanga o muri, te whānui o te kurupae matua, te teitei o te waka mai i te whenua, ngā whakaritenga mō te koki wehenga, me ētahi atu), whakatauhia te tauira o te kuaha hiku, me te tāuta rānei i ngā parepare me ētahi atu taputapu;
4. Whakaarohia te utu, ā, whiriwhiria ngā hua he nui te utu e whai hua ana.
Hei tāpiri, i te wā e hoko ana i te kuaha hiku o te motuka, me whakaaro tuatahi koe ki tōngā hiahia ake, pērā i te taumaha o ngā taonga e whakamahia ana mō te uta me te tango utanga, te momo taonga, te rahi o te taraka, me ētahi atu, hei whiriwhiri ko tēhea tatau hiku e tika ana (tautau hiku maitai, tautau hiku konumohe, tautau hiku takai, tautau hiku hanga-roto, tautau hiku poutū, me ētahi atu).
He rerekē anō hoki ngā painga me ngā tikanga whakamahi o ngā kēti hiku. Me whai whakaaro ngā kaihoko me ngā hoa ki tēnei whakaritenga ina hoko ana.
