10. Attach the under seat apron.
The under seat apron has a rip-and-grip
tab opening on one side. This allows for
installation. Install with this tab facing up and
to the rear of the boat.
Start by opening the tab and slipping the
apron under the seat and around the seat
mounting bolts. Reattach the tab once it's in
position.
Next, attach the sides of the apron to the
sides of each pontoon, matching up the
corresponding rip-and-grip sections.

11. Mount the stripping basket.
The stripping basket is a sturdy and efficient way of
containing your fishing line while fly casting. Mount it to
the top of either pontoon float, or across your lap.
OPTION A:
To attach, orient the basket so the long side
of the basket with the three loops sewn into its bottom
faces outboard, or away from the seat. Next, find the
three rip-and-grip tabs sewn to the outboard side of the
pontoon. Thread these through the corresponding loops
on the bottom of the basket.
Finish by attaching the rip-and-grip strap on the outboard
top edge of the basket to an upright of the oarlock
12. Attach the center storage bags.
To mount the bags to the pontoon float first find the three
sets of plastic loops sewn into each long side of the bag
bottom. These mate up with rip-and-grip straps along the
tops of both pontoons.
Orient the storage bag on either pontoon so that the flap
of the top bag pocket, when open, folds away from the
operator. Match up rip-and-grip tape on the bottom of the
bag to the rip-and-grip strips on the top of the pontoon float
and press together. Then thread the rip-and-grip straps
through the hoops on the bottom of the bag to fully secure.
You can use both the bags on the boat at the same time or
only use one when using the stripping basket mounted to
the top of the pontoon. You can secure the other half of the
bag in the wire cargo deck, using the wire basket attachment
straps.
To use the bag as a shoulder tote, match up the sections of
rip-and-grip tape sewn on the back of each bag. Next, find
the rip-and-grip straps on the end of one bag and thread
through the corresponding loops on the end of the other
bag. Repeat with the other end. Finish by attaching the
shoulder strap to both ends of the completed bag.
