Assembly & Inflation; Pre-Assembly - Sea Eagle SailCat 14SC Owner's Manual

Oar Pin
The oar pin secures the steering oar to the
rudlock.
Oar/Rudder
Your SailCat comes with a 7' 10" two-piece oar
which is used as a rudder for the SailCat. The
rudder is what you can use to steer or change
direction of the SailCat.
Sail
This 65 square foot Dacron high aspect sail by
Neil Pryde has been designed for higher per-
formance for use with our SailCat. Features in-
clude built-in strap and clip to secure the sail
around the mast when not in use, "tell tales"
for wind direction and sleeves for the mast and
a batten.
Batten
The batten is a fiberglass rod with a white
plastic loop at one end. The batten will give
the sail shape.
Boom
The two-piece telescoping boom for the Sail-
Cat is easy to set up and store. The boom fea-
tures a mast ring at one end and a sail cleat at
the other. It also has eyebolts for attachment
of the main sheet and downhaul line to secure
the boom to the maststep.
Ropes & Mainsheet
The SailCat comes with a set of two 24" ropes
for attaching the sail to the boom. Also in-
cluded is a 56" rope (for boom/mast step) and
a large white rope which is the mainsheet. A
mainsheet is the line used to control the angle
of the sail to the wind. Color of the ropes may
change due to availability.
Brass Clips
Two brass clips are included for rigging the
main sheet. The clips are be pre-installed on
the main sheet.
Assembly & Inflation
Tools
You will need two wrenches, either adjustable or metric, or a metric socket
set.

Pre-Assembly:

Your 14SC has some items that are installed once and can remain in
place when the boat is disassembled for storage. A work surface at a
5
comfortable height is recommended.
Mast Step Base
First, locate the mast step base and the mast
step base hardware.
Align pre-drilled holes in the mast step base
with the holes in the front crossbench.
Use the mast step to align the two boards. In-
sert the bolts though the holes near the ends
of the base. Each bolt gets two washers, one
under the bolt head and one under the lock-
nut. Use two wrenches to tighten the nuts
onto the bolts. The bench is now ready to in-
stall on the pontoons.
Leeboard Brackets
Locate the leeboard brackets (shown at left)
and the floor with attached aluminum boards.
The brackets will mount on the underside of
the floorboards. Pre-drilled mounting holes
are located in the middle of the boards.
Insert the bolts with washers through the top
of the floorboards and through the mounting
bracket as shown.
Thread the nuts onto the bolts hand tight. Use
one wrench to hold the nut and turn the bolt
with the second wrench until tight. The bolt
head size is 10mm. Do not apply too much
force, the aluminum bench may dent if over-
tightened.
Seat Mounts
Locate the seat mounts and hardware (four 2"
flathead screws and wingnuts). Install one
seat mount on each board. Install one at the
rear position and one on the opposite side in
the front position.
Oarpin
Locate the oar pin and the two-part steering
oar which is in the box with the mast. Slide
the oarpin onto the handle of the steering oar
and tighten the wingnut. Not too tight, this will
need adjustment when ready to sail.
