9. Avoid towing the FOLBOT behind a powerboat. Because of its light weight when empty, it is quite easy to flip the boat at high speeds. In an emergency, tow it at an idle, and leave some small amount of weight in the boat.

Install at the black nylon plate marked #2, and position it so that the aluminum U-bracket at the top of the frame faces toward the bow (front) of the boat. The #2 sticker on the crossframe should face toward the cockpit. Begin by inserting the crossframe into one of the side frames (see photo, below left).

16. Now locate the side washboard pieces. Assemble each left and right side by sliding the rear piece (with the black corner attached) into the front piece. You will need to remove one of the black knobs and T-bolts first to assemble the front washboard to the back (see photo, below left). When assembled correctly, each side should have all the black knobs facing out while the groove along its entire length is facing down.
