KERO PakCanoe Spray Cover - Manual (Page 3)

a. Attach the cord to the web loop closest to the end of the canoe. Run it down and
around the cord you previously installed on the canoe hull, then back up to and through
the web loop. Continue horizontally through the next web loop, down and around the
cord on the hull, up and through the web loop. Continue like this until you get to the end
of the spray cover section. At the end of the section, run the cord around the black patch
to help keep the cover section from sliding towards the stern when it is disconnected from
the bow section. Make the cord snug, but not very tight. You can make adjustments later.
b. Repeat a. above on the other side of the canoe. Tighten the cord enough to keep the
cover well supported, but not drum tight. Adjust tightness side to side so the cover is
centered on the canoe.
c. Repeat a. and b. above at the other end of the canoe, but only to the end of the black
gunwale reinforcement.
d. Put the two cover sections together with Velcro edges as illustrated in the next two
pictures below.
e. Lace the center section. Keep in mind that the stern paddler may need to access gear
while under way. It should be possible to open the cover between sections by undoing the
straps (two on top and two securing the edges to the cord that is attached to the hull), but
without undoing any lacing.
When you are done, your canoe should look more or less like this:
