Hull / Crossbar assembly

Steps
Description
1
Position the hulls parallel on the ground
approximately 2.5 meters apart. Prepare the
front crossbar. Unscrew the nuts off of the two 2
external head bolts. Unscrew the nuts also off of
the two internal headless bolts.
Lift the right hull into an upright position. One
person straddles the hull to hold in position. The
other one applies the silicone sealant (for
waterproofing) around the bolt holes and on rivets.
2
Taking the front crossbar, position it on the cross-
bar moulding in the deck making sure that the eye
strap on the bar is facing to the rear of the boat and
the remaining headless bolt on the cross bar fits in
the hole on the deck.
3
Insert the long external screw.
4
Pass your hand through the inspection port to posi-
tion the nuts and washers onto the long bolt and
the headless bolt. Tighten loosely.
Repeat the same operation for the other hull.
Repeat step 1 and 2 for the rear crossbar.
All go round the boat and tighten all eight bolts.
NB : DO NOT USE any ratchet key on the screw
WHILE MAINTAINING the nut in a fixed position
with another wrench. This would cause over hea-
ting and could weld the nut on the screw. Use the
ratchet key ONLY on the nut.
It is recommended to periodically check the tightness of all 8 bolts
