(The anchor and line shown are not included.)
For descriptive purposes, the “front” clamp refers to the clamp nearest the end, regardless if
installed on the bow or the stern.
Adjust Front Clamp
•
Loosen the wing nut on the L-shaped wooden clamp and remove the clamp, bolt, and
the washer.
•
Position outrigger so that the end overhangs the canoe by about 8 inches.
•
Replace the bolt, in another hole, if necessary, so that the clamp will grab under the
deck (not the grab handle—except for Stillwater Canoes).
•
Tighten
wing
nut.
Back Clamps
•
Loosen wing nut to end of carriage bolt, or remove bolt altogether.
•
Turn wooden crosspieces so that ends flare to match the hull shape, and position as
close to the deck as possible. Move to another hole if necessary.
•
Position one piece above the gunwale and one piece below.
•
Tighten
wing
nut.
Anchor Line
•
Thread anchor line (1/4” LINE IS RECOMMENDED AND IS NOT PROVIDED)
through the pulley, then swing locking cleat out and thread line through the hole. The
weight of the anchor will lock down the line on the cleat.
•
Tie a stopper knot near the end of the line to prevent it from pulling completely
through the cleat.
Extra Step
For permanent installation, drill a hole into the deck of the canoe and secure front clamp through the deck.
