6 ORU KAYAK | ASSEMBLY GUIDE
Step 3: Unhook bulkhead & attach seam channels
Unhook snaphook
from D-ring.
(Later, when folding the
kayak back into its box,
you will re-hook.)
The bulkhead hook keeps the front bulkhead and footrest out of the way while folding the kayak into box form. Four seam channels
seal the deck (top) of the kayak. Two are permanently attached to one side of the deck, and you’ll attach the other two.
