Hull assembly
Position the hulls in parallel with the inner
1
sides facing the ground.
NB
: It is advisable to put some padding under the
hulls to prevent scratching and damage.
Lift the right hull. One person straddles the hull to
hold it in an upright position. The other person
applies the Silicone sealant (for waterproofing)
around the bolt holes in the deck saddles.
Take the front crossbar and remove the 2 nuts
2
(one stainless washer and one nylon washer
from each bolt). NB:
trampoline track faces the rear of the boat. NB: it is
advisable to place a small amount of grease on each
bolt.
Ensure that the
Position the front crossbar in
3
the deck saddle and push the
bolts into the holes. Reach in
through the inspection port and
position the nylon washer, the
stainless washer and then one nut on
the thread of each bolt. Tighten the
nuts by hand or loosely with the #17
wrench - Do not overtighten at this
stage.
Lift the port hull, and repeat the mounting process.
4
Install the rear crossbar now in the same manner as the front crossbar.
Now using the # 17 wrench tighten all 8 bolts and nuts securely, then install the lock nuts.
NB : Check all nuts after your first sailing and afterwards on a regular basis

Trampoline Assembly
Unfold the trampoline. Note that the trampoline has side tension lines that are already pre-threaded.
1
Insert the front edge of the trampoline into the track at the left, rear side of the front crossbar. Continue
feeding the trampoline into the track and position it in the center. line up the grommet in the center of the
trampoline with the dolphin striker post to ensure it is centered.
2
Take one of the side tensioning lines and pass the line
through the pad-eye that is fixed to the front crossbar.
Then tie with a bowline knot the line onto the grommet of
the trampoline near where the rope exits the trampoline.
Repeat this step at the opposite side front corner.

3
Move to the rear of the trampoline. Very closely to where the side
tensioning line exits the rear of the trampoline tie a loop. ensure you
pull the side tensioning line firmly as to tie the loop as closely to the
trampoline where the rope exits as possible. Tie a bowline or a similar
loop in the line which will be used for a 4:1 purchase of the side
tensioning lines. Repeat this step for the opposite side rear corner.
4
Now take the tale of the side
tensioning line and pass the
rope through the pad-eye
mounted on the rear cross beam
closest to where the line exits
the trampoline. Then pass the
line back through the loop tied in
step3. Again go through the
pad-eye on the beam and back
through the loop. This will
provide a 4:1 purchase. Pull the
line slightly as to take some tension for
the sides but do not completely tension
at this stage. Repeat this step for the
opposite side rear corner. Ensure that
the trampoline is still centered.
Trampoline
Début
5
Find the trampoline rod and insert it
into the rear of the trampoline.
6
Commence lacing the rear of the
trampoline. The lacing line starts at the
left, rear lacing button on the rear
crossbar. Lace the rear of the
trampoline as tightly as possible as per
the photographs and diagrams
supplied. Continue across the rear
crossbar and tie off securely when
7
Again, take the side tensioning line and very
firmly pull the line. Once as tight as possible tie
off the line with an adequate knot. Repeat this
for the opposite side rear corner.
8
Now, once the side tension line has been tied
off, using the long tail, pass it back through the
grommet at the rear corner of the trampolin e
near where the side tensioning line exits the
trampoline. Then pass the line through the
pad-eye on the rear crossbar. Agai n pa ss th e
tail through the grommet on the trampoline and
pull the line firmly. Once the sides of the
trampoline have been further tightened, tie off the line and hide the tail under
the trampoline. Repeat this step for the opposite side rear corner.
NB :
It is important that the trampoline be strongly tightened.
Check the tension on a regular basis.
