Installation / Important Notes 

Please note the following important notes: 

We strongly recommend that the product specification, use and installation be checked by a 
professional technician before purchase and that the installation is carried out by the same 
person. 

This manual is for advice only. THERE ARE TOO MANY HULL VARIATIONS IN ORDER 
TO SPECIFY AN EXACT INSTALLATION OR AN INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR 
EVERYONE. 

Not intended for use in extreme conditions (i.e.: high forces from water, wind, etc.) 

Before each use, make sure that the hitch pins of the support tube are securely inserted. 

Check the integrity of the hull, including hull thickness, chine and stringer locations, making 
sure proper support will be provided. 

Rinse with freshwater after each use, as saltwater and other contaminants can cause 
staining, even though we use the most corrosion resistant materials. 

Under no circumstances should person/s or animal be allowed in watercraft whether 
loading, or in stored position. 

Do not add additional gear, etc. that may subject the watercraft to be over the maximum 
weight capacity. 

Always pull drain plug when stored to prevent excess water to accumulate, which could 
cause excess weight. 

Be sure the attachment bolts are secure before each use. 

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE, LOSS OR SERIOUS 
INJURY!
