Step 7: Attach rear seat column
Closing the back of the kayak is
similar to closing the front (step 6).
You’ll also install the backrest column,
which supports the rear cockpit area.
Insert the backrest column
into the slotted backrest
plate in the floorboard. Tilt
upward to lock the backrest
column in place.
Lock the top of the backrest
column into the two shiny
screws on the coaming of
the kayak (see close up).
