5.Insert the aft outboard corner of the trampoline into the extrusion on the inside of the hull and pull the trampoline as far aft as it will go.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 for installing the starboard trampoline.

7.In front of the rear cross bar there is a hole in either inboard rail. Insert the port aft lacing line into this hole on the port hull and exit it straight down. Tie a knot in the tail of the line and then pull the knot up under the rail.

8.Thread the lacing line from the inboard rail to the corner grommet on the AFT lacing strip and then to the corner grommet on the port trampoline. Temporarily tie the line off to the rear cross bar.

9.Repeat this procedure for the starboard side of the trampoline.

10.Attach the center trampoline lacing line to the forward-most grommet on the starboard trampoline. Lace it down to the rear taking out the slack as you go.

11.Untie the aft lacing lines and complete the lacing starting at the outboard side and working toward the center. See Figure 10. With use the trampoline will stretch and require periodic re-tightening.
