ASSEMBLY & INFLATION
Floorboards
Push the floorboards into
position. The boat may be
very stiff when first opened
making the floorboards
difficult to install. Open the
valves to allow some air to
move inside. Adding some
air to the chambers may
help too.
Locate an area large
enough to safely unfold the
STS10. Check that the area
is free of hazards that could
injure you or damage the
boat.
The floorboards will
overlap 4-6 inches in the
middle.
Rod holders must be clear
of the boards or under the
boards so boards can be
lifted in the middle
without hanging up on the
rod holders.
As a precaution, put the
valve caps in the valve to
prevent them from being
accidentally pulled off by
the floorboards.
With the wide side facing
up, place the long strut
onto the edge of one
board. Lift the boards from
the middle and insert the
edge of the other board
into the strut. Press down
until fully seated.
This step is best done with
two people.
At this time, floorboards do
not need to be pushed all
the way to the back or front
of boat.
If installing floorboards
without a helper, place a
tackle box or something
similar under one side of
the floorboards in the
middle of boat.
Pull boards upward until
they can be joined
together by the H-bar.
Once floorboards are
joined together, remove
prop and push down on
floorboards until flat.
Caution:
Keep fingers
out of gap.
Insert the side struts, flat
side down.
If any of the side material
is under the floorboards, it
must be pulled out. Strad-
dle the boat and hold the
board down with one foot
while pulling up on the
side of the boat.
