Step 4: Insert bulkheads
Bow and stern bulkheads provide the Oru Kayak with structural rigidity. They do
not provide flotation. For extra buoyancy, place Oru Float Bags (not included, but
available from Oru Kayak) between the bulkheads and the bow and stern.
Insert the bow bulkhead
(attached by a shock cord)
into the two black
U-channels affixed to
the hull at the bow.
Insert the stern bulkhead
into the two black
U-channels affixed to the
hull at the stern.
