TOOLS REQUIRED: Drill with 13/64” bit, Pliers, Rivet Gun, File, Scissors, Marking Pencil, Tape Measure

Before getting started we recommend sorting out and separating the parts for easy access during assembly.

1. On top of the Stern Deck of the kayak, measure 1” toward the Bow from the Stern Tip. Set Pad Eye (B) centered at the 1”

measurement. Use your pad eye as a jig to drill your holes with a 13/64” drill bit as shown in Fig# 1. For Ocean Kayak Sit

on Tops, the Pad Eye (B) may have to be placed off to the right side as some models have rudder catchers on the Stern Deck. It is important that you install the Anchor kit on the right hand side of this boat so it will not interfere with Rudder Lines that run down the left hand side of the boat. Fig. #2

2. Insert Star Rivets (D) as shown in Fig# 3 they have narrow slits in the rivet and they are about ¼” shorter than the cherry

rivets. With a Rivet gun, pop the rivets. If the rivet does not break flush, grab the post extending out of the rivet with a pair of pliers and wiggle back and forth until it breaks flush. If there is a jagged piece left, use your file to smooth it down. For

Ocean Kayak Sit on Tops you will use Cherry Rivets (K) Cherry Rivets have the rings around the mandrel also their about ¼” longer than the other rivets as shown in Fig# 3.5

(H) so it can be easily reached. Fig # 4. For Ocean Kayak Sit on Tops you need to install this on the Right Hand Side of

the Boat Fig # 4 Ocean Kayak.

4. Drill your holes for this second Pad Eye as you did in Step 2. Insert AA611D (C) rivets through this second Pad Eye and

into the boat. Add a Deck Washer (E) to the underside of each rivet, inside the boat and pop rivets as you did in Step 2.

For Ocean Kayak Sit on Tops you will use Cherry Rivets (K) without any Deck Washers.

5. Place Jam Cleat (A) on the boat 8” behind the Pad Eye you just installed next to the cockpit as shown in Fig#5. It is

important that the Jam Cleat is in line with both pad eyes as you want your pulley line to be as straight as possible. With the high point of the cleat facing the Bow as shown in Fig# 6, Using your cleat as a jig drill the holes with a 13/64 “ bit. For

Ocean Kayak Sit on Tops you need to install this on the right hand side of the boat.
