5. Install the stripping apron/cargo deck to the pontoon frame.
Locate the stripping apron/cargo deck and the rear platform
frame.
Insert the rear platform frame through the four loops found
around the fabric section of the apron/cargo deck.
Insert the ends of the rear platform frame into the rear tubes of
the pontoon side frames. Insert two clevis frame pins from the
top down into the holes where the platform frame slides into the
pontoon frames.
You MUST lock the security retainers on all four clevis pins
to insure that the frame stays together.
Continue by locating the five reinforced openings in the apron/
cargo deck. The four openings with round holes fit over the four
seat upright posts. The single opening with the square hole in
the middle is used to feed the strap attached to the seat frame
through the apron/cargo deck.
Note: There are two straps on the front of the apron/cargo deck that are used later in step 9.
6. Attach the seat platform to the seat frame.
Locate the seat platform.
You must SIMULTANEOUSLY insert all four posts of the
seat base into the seat frame posts.
A small quantity of lubricant applied to the inside of the
seat frame receptacle posts with a paper towel will
greatly ease this step.
Place the seat frame on the ground with the open ends
of the four small posts facing up. Now place (do not yet
insert) the four small posts of the seat platform over the
seat frame posts as shown.
With the seat platform posts leaning in, slightly press in
all four of the seat frame receptacle posts, then put your full weight evenly across both seat platform
rails and press them all the way down.
7. Attach the pontoons to the pontoon side frames.
Each pontoon attaches to the side frame with four
Rear
webbing attachment straps.
Locate the left and right pontoon side frames. On the
front of each rail (where the front of the boat will be)
there is a "L" (left) or "R" (right) label indicating left
or right. Place the left pontoon side frame on top of
the left pontoon (remember—the left/right label is in
the pocket) and the right pontoon frame on the right
pontoon.
