The general assembly overview is to partially complete both halves of the frame, which are then
inserted into each end of the skin. The frames are then joined together and expanded until the
skin is tight lengthwise. The remaining crossframes are installed, followed by the washboard
and finally the seat. Please read all the instructions, and assemble slowly and carefully the first
time, paying close attention to all details.
It may take over an hour to assemble the Kodiak for the first time, but with a little practice you
should be able to put the boat together in under 20 minutes. Enjoy!

1. Begin by checking the contents of the bag to be sure all parts are present.
2. Locate both the bow keel end and the bottom keel section marked with the word bow and the numbers
1, 2 and 3. At the end of this bottom keel section is a slotted aluminum plate. Slide the keel end and this
plate completely together.

3. Fold the deck strut back away from the boat so it
is out of the way. Locate the two side frames
marked right bow and left bow. Beginning with
one side, engage the metal keyhole bracket onto
the two screws mounted in the keel end (see photo
#1). Repeat with the other side.
The side frames are held in place by folding the
deck strut back into position. Note that this strut is
in two parts—allow these pieces to snap together.
