Locate a relatively clean

space to unpack your

Sea Eagle and lay it out

flat. If you plan on using

your kayak in flat-water

install the skeg. DO

NOT USE THE SKEG

IN WHITEWATER.

Simply slide the skeg

into the skeg base un-

derneath the stern.

Then slide the key lock

into the small gap in the

base to lock it into posi-

tion. If the skeg will not

slide in, do not force it

(refer to page 12).

Drain Valves 

When using the boat in

flat-water, screw the

caps down tightly. Open

the caps before entering

whitewater. The boat

will partially fill with

water when the drains

are open.

When opening the

drains, tuck the caps

underneath the inflat-

able floor so they do not

block the openings as

water drains out.

Partially inflate the sides

and the floor and check

that the floor is tucked

underneath the sides.

Finish inflating the floor

then sides. Working

pressure of the sides

and floor is 3.2 psi. The

floor can be inflated up

to 10 psi but is not nec-

essary to do so.

Finally inflate the keel

which only takes a few

pumps.

Deluxe Inflatable Seat

(OPTIONAL) 

The Deluxe Fishing

Seat (DKS) has two in-

ternal bladders, two

white valves and two

blue straps with clips for

securing to the D-rings.

Deluxe Fishing Seats

(OPTIONAL)

Features a 17” back

height for superior back

support, sitting you 10”

off the floor for greater

fishing and casting. In-

flates and installs the

same as the , Deluxe

Kayak Seats. 

This seat

is featured only on the

385FTG.
