Please note the information given on the rating plate attached on the transom plate and the information
on the inside of the tubes.
All Takacats are designed for short shaft engines. Outboard motors with long shafts or extra long shafts
must not be used.
The transom tubes must not be used as towing brackets. Only the tow rings in the stern area and in the
bow area may be used for towing. To avoid damage, it is essential to ensure gentle gas changes.
Assemply boat:
1. First, the lower Transom rod must be inserted from behind into the two little tubes.
A little bit water or a little bit dish soap makes them easier to slide into.
The transverse pressure plate of the transom rod or the Screwing tongues with the drill holes must
face up

The transverse pressure plate of the transom rod or the Screwing tongues with the drill holes must

3. Then the both catamaran tubes must be inflated to 220mbar. Maximum pressure is 250mbar. The
Halkey-Roberts valve must be set to inflate, meaning the valve mechanism must pop out a bit.
4. When the two tubes are inflated, the two bottom flaps must be placed around the lower transom
bar and closed.
5. Then the floor must be inserted and inflated to a minimum of 600mbar. The maximum pressure is
689mbar. The Halkey-Roberts valve must be set to inflate, meaning the valve mechanism must pop
