Before getting started we recommend sorting out and separating the parts for easy access during assembly.
Step 1: Mark & Drill Holes:

 Place Seat in a comfortable paddling position

12” from front
of seat and 2”
down from
Parting Line

Fig.#1 Marking Holes

Step 2:Attach Footbraces:

Fig.#3 Insert Pedal Stop

 On the outside of the hull, measure 12 inches forward from the front

of the seat and 2 inches down from the “part” line (the faint ridge
made where the two molds come together in the molding process) and
mark the location

 Hold the foot brace track over the mark on the hull so that it shows

through the last hole. Mark the first hole at the other end of the track,
towards the bow, 2” below the “part” line. See Fig.#1

 Drill the holes using the 3/16” drill bit.
 Repeat on the other side of the Boat

 Check the orientation of the foot pedal before attaching the track

to the hull. The treads of the pedal should face the seat.

 Screw 1” bolts into the holes from the outside

 Place Pedal Stop into each end of the footbrace tracks so the high

back of the stop is toward the middle of the track. See Fig. #3. The
hole in each stop should align with the last hole in each end of the
track.

 Slip track onto the bolts ensuring the bolt goes through the track and

pedal stop. Place lock nuts on the bolt ends. The nut should fit
snugly into the hexagonal hole in the pedal stop. Use wrench and
screwdriver to tighten bolts completely. See Fig.#4.
