The under seat apron has a rip-and-grip tab opening on one side. This allows for installation. Install with this tab facing up and to the rear of working from the front, fit the apron seat hole around the bottom of the seat. Reattach the rip- and-grip tabs at the back of the apron.

To secure, wrap the rip-and-grip tabs around the pontoon frames at the positions indicated by the arrows in the drawing above. Finish by hooking the four elastic shock cords on the back of the apron to the wire cargo rack.

First, assemble the two piece oars. Align the holes so that the button

 

pops through the oar handle.

oar stop

To set an oar in an oar lock drop the thinnest section of the oar into

 

the oar lock. Slide the oar until the oar stop rests against the oar lock. The oar stops are adjustable if desired.

 

You will find oar rests at the back of the pontoons. These are useful for keeping the oars up and out of the way when they’re not needed.

15. Attach the anchor system.

The anchor system consists of a mesh weight bag and a length of cord threaded through the frame (step 9).

The bag is filled with rocks or metal weights (not included). Usually six to eight lbs. will keep you anchored in a light breeze but the weight needed will vary depending on your weight, your cargo weight, currents and wind.

There are built-in cleats on the inside of each pontoon frame

behind the front anchor cord pulley. Thread the cord around the front anchor cord pulley and back to the cleat. Thread the cord in the front and out the back of each cleat. To cleat the cord while anchoring, simply pull the cord into the jaws of the cleat. Pull up and away from the cleat jaws to release.

If the anchor cord cleat or the anchor cord pulleys ever loosen, use the included allen wrenches to tighten.

16. Attach the rod holder.

The rod holder may be placed in three different positions on either the left or right oar lock frame. You can hold your rod to the back (1), out to the side (2) or to the front (3). The rod holder attaches with the clevis frame pins as in step 8.

To use the rod holder first unwrap the rip-and-grip strap on the end. Put your rod in the holder butt end first then turn it to drop the reel handle into the cutout on the side of the rod holder. Keeping one hand on your rod use your other hand to wrap the strap around the front of the reel to secure your rod in place in the holder.
