STEP 8- Safety Tether
Locate safety tether. Tie off the end of the stretch cord to either side of the rear
crossbar. Always attach the teacher to yourself so you will never get separated from
your boat.
STEP 9- Caps
Installing the vent caps (2) as supplied creates a water tight seal. Screw caps onto
threaded holes on top of the pontoons.
STEP 10- Footrest Installation
1. Locate the 18" and two 48" lengths of tubing. Remove screws from the 18" tubing and
insert plastic end into 1/2" hole in 48" lengths. Secure with 1 1/2" screw through 1/4" hole,
making sure half round seat is completely seated against 48" tubing. When footrest is not
on the boat, it should be disassembled. The horseshoe shape allows for substantial lever-
age and can break.
2. Insert footrest evenly into 7/8" opening on hangers until all four hangers are supporting
the footrest. Adjust footrest to desired length. Secure by inserting lynch pins through holes
in footrest and hanger. Snug strut attachment tabs up against footrest hanger.

STEP 11- Cargo Rack Assembly
Your cargo rack may already be completely assembled. If this is the case, proceed to Installation instructions.
1- Remove the screws from all of the threaded connectors.
2- Insert the end of the 17" piece of tubing into the 1/2" hole in the cross piece of the partially assembled rack.
3- Position the 17" piece so the 1/2" hole is facing the threaded connector on the short cross piece of the partially
assembled rack. Insert the threaded connector into the 1/2" hole.
4- Secure both threaded connectors with supplied screws. Repeat process with second 17" piece to complete
assembly.
