Locate a relatively clean
space to unpack your
Sea Eagle and lay it out
flat. If you plan on using
your kayak in flat-water
install the skeg. DO
NOT USE YOUR SKEG
IN WHITEWATER.
Simply slide the skeg
into the skeg base un-
derneath the stern.
Then slide the key lock
into the small gap in the
base to lock it into posi-
tion.
When using the boat in
flat-water, screw the
caps down tightly. Open
the caps before entering
whitewater. The boat
will partially fill with
water when the drains
are open.
When opening the
drains, tuck the caps
underneath the inflat-
able floor so they do not
block the openings as
water drains out.
Explorer kayaks are
equipped with three
floor straps (the middle
one is shown). The
straps are secured by
D-rings mounted on the
sides just above the
floor.
Partially inflate the sides
and the floor and check
that the floor is tucked
underneath the sides.
Finish inflating the floor
then sides. Working
pressure of the sides
and floor is 3.2 psi. The
floor can be inflated up
to 14 psi but is not nec-
essary to do so.
Deluxe Inflatable Seat
(OPTIONAL)
The Deluxe Fishing
Seat (DKS) has two in-
ternal bladders, two
white valves and two
blue straps with clips for
securing to the D-rings.
One-Way Air Valve
Tether the white valve to
the valve base. Stretch
the ring over the base.
The ring fits in a groove
in the base.
TIP:
Soak valve caps
inwarm water to make
installing the ring over
the base easier.
