Again, make sure, all snap buttons face inside the kayak: The stern element is fully assembled and should result in the image on the left. 4) Inserting bow and stern element / tensioning the hull Spread out the hull.

Make sure, the two pickup elements at the ridge bar are pointing towards the center of the kayak (this is where the coaming is inserted later on). Proceed likewise with the stern. Push the frame flat into the bow and as far as you can.

Now bow and stern are getting connected and tensioned. In order to do this, remove the split pins on keel ladder. And then proceed exactly as described. Please read through the following section before going to work: The keel ladder part with the hemispherical ends is placed "UNDER"...

5) Connecting stringer The connecting of the stringer elements is a process that you have to learn. Especially the precise alignment of the "locks" to another is crucial to prevent jamming. This connection technology adds a lot to the overall stiffness of the boat.

Let the stringer then slowly come back and make sure that the two elements form a straight line. This is very important, too. Once there is no straight line, the stringer elements will jam. If they form a straight line, you still can adjust some little imprecision, by pressing with your thumb.

Insert these with the bent part ahead into the coaming channel. And that into the part with the largest gap in the rear third (see the left picture). Then slide this first half of the coaming through the channel to the front. Especially at the first assembly you have to make sure, that the rod runs through the channel.

Then insert the two remaining coaming rods without D-rings in the channel towards the stern. Connect them with the pickup element in the stern. Take one of the two bigger sleeves and put it onto the coaming rod. The connection of the coaming rods is done similarly to the connection of the stringer.

NOTE: Some customers proceed in reverse order, connecting stringer and coaming. That is, they connect bow and stern, THEN connect the stringer elements first and insert the coaming afterwards and connect it. Try that variation, if you want and proceed how it suits you best! 7) Installation of the cockpit cross ribs and installation of the seats Now you will need the two remaining...

(On the left you see it done in detail at the installation on a Triton Ladoga 1 advanced.) Now open the closure on the cross ribs. Therefore, push the little security ring upwards, otherwise the lock won't open. Push it upwards and let it stay open. Then clip the stringer elements into the C- clips on the cross rib.
Page 15
Only now insert the coaming into the upper closure and close it by pushing the handle downwards. Make sure, the small security ring falls back down into position to secure the closure. Installing the seats Take the Velcros… …and fasten the split end to cross rib #1 (to cross rib #4 in the stern).
Page 16
The closed end is fastened around the cross bar of the keel ladder. (see pictures on the left) Now place the seat onto the Velcro and lead the upper strap through the D-ring on the coaming, then lead it back through the clip.

8) Deck Now attach the deck onto the Velcros on the coaming. (You can paddle also paddle your Triton Vouksa 2 advanced "open" in good conditions) Your boat is now fully assembled. Have fun on the water! Instructions for disassembling: For the disassembling proceed in the same way as for assembling but in reverse order.
