INSERT CHINE BARS.

(shock-corked tube sections with yellow tape)
a) Open up chine bars with short section towards stern.
• Remember, it is easier to work on the frame work from
the opposite side.
• Tubes will slide easier when they are in-line with
each other.
• Slide chines into kayak under crossribs. Join with chine
tube at the bow section by pulling the bars into
alignment and sliding together. (If necessary, pull tube
towards center of skin to allow tubes to slide
easily together.)
b) Attach stern section by pulling tube apart, extending
shockcord and sliding tubes together. If necessary, pull
tube towards center of skin to align and slide. To slide
chine sleeve over shockcorded tube join, push the chine
section "out" towards the outside of the skin. When the
two chine tube sections are in line, pull back towards cen-
ter of skin, slide sleeve to secure join.
