7.3 Installing the Stowage Straps
Locate the four drill locations marked with star symbols on vertical wall surface to the left and right side of the Flex Pod OS
Pod Scupper. Drill the center of the star drill locations with a 7/32" drill bit.
Thread one of the deck loops (C1) through the loop at the end of the stowage strap (C) with female buckle. Attach the deck
loop (C1) to the left side of the boat with two 10-32 x ¾" screws (C2). Utilize access through the bow hatch to secure the deck
loop (C1) on the inside with a neoprene coated 10 x 5/8" washers (C3) and 10-32 cap nuts (C4). Neoprene side of the 10 x
5/8" washer (C3) should be pressed against the inside hull of boat. Tighten the hardware assembly with the 3/8" wrench and
screw driver.
Repeat the process with the stowage strap (C) with male buckle on the right side of boat.
Tip: You may have to work the neoprene 10 x 5/8" washer (C3) up onto the 10-32 x ¾" screw (C2) with your hand to allow
room for the cap nut (C4).
Tip: The neoprene 10 x 5/8" washer (C3) is intended to fit securely on the 10-32 x ¾" screw (C2). A screw driver must be used
to completely drive and secure the hardware assembly against the hull of boat. This is critical to ensure a watertight seal.
