FLOAT CAT 75 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1- Pontoon Placement
Note: The seat faces the rear or aft of the boat
(sometimes referred to as the "stern"). The front of the boat is referred to as the "bow". Float Cats are paddled
or rowed with your body facing aft (with your back to the direction of travel).
On one side near each end of the pontoons are two indentations.
Assemble with these indentations on the inside, facing each
other. The bottom of the pontoons (the part in the water)
are exactly the same. Forward (bow) and rear (stern) are
established by seat installation: Installation of the second crossbar
through the stern 6" loop (step 3 below) establishes the rear
aft crossbar.
