Grab Line Installation:

IMPORTANT: To properly install the inflatable
boat's grab line and/or accessory lines, first inflate
the boat.
If is necessary, begin the grab line installation at
the rear of the boat by threading it through the
rope holders completely around the outside of
the boat. Tie the two loose ends in a square knot
at the rear end of the boat.

Accessory Line Installation

(Certain Models):
Your boat may have accessory lines to install. Tie
a figure eight knot into one end of the accessory
line and slide it through the rope holders. Tie a
figure eight knot in the remaining end of the rope.
The accessory bags may or may not be attached
to the accessory lines. Slide the rope through the
accessory bags while installing the accessory lines, if desired.
