For the Pad Eye you 

will need to drill two 

holes on the side of 

the hull. 

1. Measure the drill 

location by attaching 

the Furler Line 

Assembly to the 

Furler. Run the line 

through the Fairlead 

and straight back 

along the rail of the 

hull. Locate the hook 

at the end of the Furl-

er Line Assembly and 

mount the Pad Eye 5” 

back of the hook. See 

FIG 10 &12. 

2. Thru-bolt the 

Pad Eye to the hull. 

Access the inside of 

the hull from the seat 

hatch or rear hatch 

depending on your 

kayak model.

3. Once the Pad Eye 

is mounted stretch 

the shock cord on the 

Furler Line Assembly 

and hook to the Pad 

Eye. See FIG 11. 

This 

will keep the furler 

line taut allowing 

the furler to work as 

designed.
