Step 7.
Install the washboards. Before installing the
washboards replace the wing nuts from U-
bolts on Crossribs. Insert the round rope
skin edge into the open end of the grooved
channel at the bottom of the washboard
sections. Engage curved bow section of the
washboard from the bow and rear section
from the stern. Move both bow and stern
sections to the center of the kayak and meet
the washboard holes with the U-bolts of
Crossribs. Secure the washboard sections by
wing nuts. Make sure the first and last
washboard holes are secured first. Then
proceed with other sections.
Two people are recommended to complete
this step. The first person pulls the
washboard in place. The other person puts
the wing nut on.
When all wing nuts are in place tight them up
securely.
