Bow and Stern Design
The bow and stern have removable ribs of high grade aluminum. When the chambers are
inflated these ribs press against the outer cover and form a high performance bow and stern.
3. ASSEMBLY/INFLATING/DEFLATION INSTRUCTION
The StraitEdge™ Kayak has a rigid frame in the bow and stern that enhances its performance.
3.1 Assembly
1. Insert aluminum Bow rib and the Stern rib into the webbing slots on the StraitEdge™
air bags and webbing slots on the kayak floor, at the bow and stern.
2. Attach air bags to the outer cover by tightening the “air bag compression straps” and
buckling the “air bag buckle”. Do this while the air bag is deflated. These are preset
at the factory and may not require any adjustment.
3. Attach adjustable seat to the StraitEdge™ side tubes by fastening buckles.
