Grab Line Installation (Certain Models):
IMPORTANT: To properly install the inflatable boat's grab line
and/or accessory lines, first inflate the boat.
If is necessary, begin the grab line installation at the rear of the
boat by threading it through the rope holders completely around
the outside of the boat. Tie the two loose ends in a square knot
at the rear end of the boat.
Accessory Line Installation (Certain
Models):
Your boat may have accessory lines to install. Tie a
figure eight knot into one end of the accessory line
and slide it through the rope holders. Tie a figure
eight knot in the remaining end of the rope.
The accessory bags may or may not be attached
to the accessory lines. Slide the rope through the
accessory bags while installing the accessory lines, if
desired.
