Now attach the two inside and two outside webbing straps
on the pontoon to the pontoon frame. Thread the straps as follows:
1. Through the metal rectangle on the frame...
2. Back to the buckle...
3. Through the buckle threading path...
4. Match the rip-and-grip to each other.
5. Fold the remaining webbing. Back it through the metal rectangle
and trap it between the pontoon and webbing. Repeat for the remaining three straps.
Repeat the procedure with the left pontoon.
5. Inflate the pontoon completely.
Finish inflating the pontoons using both valves in each pontoon as
outlined in Step 3.
Inflate to approximately 2.5 psi (0.17 BAR).
Inflate until firm but not hard. DO NOT over inflate.
6. Determine the seat placement.
The seat placement determines the center of gravity of the boat. Where you attach the seat to
the frame depends on your size and whether you will be using a motor and battery or carry cargo
on the boat.
Use the following information about seat placement as guide to
help you setup your boat for optimum balance in the water. After
setup, load your boat with the gear you would use fishing, and try
your boat in shallow water to determine if further seat position
adjustment is necessary for optimum weight distribution.
• If you are up to 5 ft 6 inch (168 cm) in height, place the forward
seat screws (underside of seat) into the front
1/3 of the seat frame bars.
• If you are up to 6 ft (183 cm) in height, place the forward seat
screws (underside of seat) into the middle section of the seat
frame bars.
• If you are over 6 ft (+183 cm) in height, place the forward seat
screws (underside of seat) into the rear 1/3 of the seat frame bars.
• If you use a motor and battery or load the cargo basket with any
heavy items, you will need to adjust the seat forward to offset the load and keep your boat
balanced. The amount you will need to move the seat forward depends on the weight of the
cargo and will necessitate that you try out the new position in shallow water before setting out.
• Try making adjustments for cargo weight by moving seat forward in 1 inch (3 cm) increments.
7. Attach the seat to the seat frame.
Locate the four 2 inch (5 cm) screws coming out of the bottom
of the seat. Unscrew the wing nuts and remove the washers.
Place the seat with screws facing downwards into the two
bars on the seat frame and position the seat in the place that
is best for your height and weight (see above). Once the seat
placement has been determined, attach the washers and wing
nuts onto the screws and tighten to hold the seat into place.
