a bead of silicone around the bolt holes and another small amount around the
perimeter of the beam landings. This will seal the holes to help prevent minor leaking
of the boat. Now install the bolts and tighten to 18 to 20 ft/lbs with a torque wrench,
always making sure the hulls have not shifted. Note these bolts need to be kept tight.
They may need tightening after the boat has been sailed few times. They should settle
in after a few sails.

3.0 – Trampoline Assembly
Fig 3A
After the cross bars are adequately
tightened, now it is time to string the
trampoline. Find the edge on the
tramp with 5 large scallops. Center
the middle scallop around the center
of the cross beam at the mast step
post. The tramp will wrap around the
front of the cross beam and the then
hook the loops on the tramp over each
of the corresponding buttons located
on the back face of the trampoline.
(Figure 3.A)
Now feed the 6’ long fiberglass rod
into the pocket located on the aft end
of the tramp, and center between the
hulls.
