Step 6: Insert the floorboard
The floorboard adds structure to the cockpit area. The handles rotate and
clip onto the coaming (cockpit rim) to hold the floorboard in place.
Fold the floorboard into a
U-shape, and insert it into
the cockpit.
Flex the middle of the
floorboard upward, form-
ing a W-shape. Place the
edge of one handle into
the recessed groove in the
coaming, over the strap.
While pushing the middle
of the floorboard down,
rotate the handle to lock it
into place; the handle will
snap in when fully rotated.
Repeat with the other
handle. See close up.
