Sponson Removal/Installation
Sponsons are secured to the hull with (6) screws per side.
New screws come with locking agent applied. If screws
are re-used, apply Loctite 242 (Blue). Assemble the
sponsons as shown at right. Torque screws to 48 in. lbs.
(5.5 Nm). Inspect condition of rubber sealing washer and
replace if missing or damaged.
Foot Pad Replacement
1. Remove old pads.
2. Use Goo-Gone™ to remove old adhesive from the
deck. If scraping is required, only use a soft plastic
material.
3. Remove Goo-Gone™ residue with mild detergent
soap.
4. Wipe surface with acetone. Allow acetone to
completely dry.
5. Remove backing from new foot well pad and
immediately apply to the deck.
6. Work the pad with your fingertips until the entire pad
is pressed onto the deck surface. Constant pressure
activates the adhesive and works any air bubbles out
from under the pad.
7. Allow for 24 hours to cure.
NOTE: Don not allow the pad temperature to exceed
80°F , or below 60°F for at least 24 hours. Always cover
the watercraft when exposed to direct sunlight.
