12. Insert the oar locks.
Insert an oar lock into the top of both oar lock brackets on the pontoon frames. There
are three oar lock positions; we suggest starting with the forward most position. If
you have the seat set back you may prefer the middle or back position. Secure each
oar lock with an oar lock clevis pin.
13. Insert the foot pegs.
Insert the foot pegs into the pontoon frame as shown. Starting
with a position in the middle of the adjustment range, align
the holes and secure with two clevis pins. Sitting in the seat
comfortably with your feet on the foot pegs, your legs should
be bent slightly at the knee. Adjust foot pegs again if needed
and secure with the two clevis pins.
14. Attach the under seat apron.
The under seat apron has a rip-and-grip tab
opening on one side. This allows for installation.
Install with this tab facing up and to the rear of
the boat.
Start by opening the tab and slipping the apron
under the seat and around the seat mounting
bolts. Reattach the tab once it's in position.
Next, attach the sides of the apron to the sides
of each pontoon, matching up the corresponding
rip-and-grip sections.
15. Mount the stripping basket.
The stripping basket is a sturdy and efficient way of
containing your fishing line while fly casting. Mount it to
the top of either pontoon float.
OPTION A: To attach, orient the basket so the long side
of the basket with the three loops sewn into its bottom
faces outboard, or away from the seat. Next, find the
three rip-and-grip tabs sewn to the outboard side of the
pontoon. Thread these through the corresponding loops
on the bottom of the basket.
Finish by attaching the rip-and-grip strap on the
outboard top edge of the basket to an upright of the
oarlock bracket. See drawing A a right.
OPTION B: Place your stripping basket across your lap
by using the 2 bungee hooks to the sides of the basket
and attaching to the pontoon frame. See drawing B at
right.
