Hobie TriFoiler, Assembly Manual

25) Attach the starboard boom.

Lift the star-

board boom

from the trail-

er and install

the pin from

the mast into

the hole in the

plastic block

on the boom.

Again, the

plastic block

has a detent

ball in it and

will require a

short, quick

push or pull to

get the boom

on or off.

26) Attach and tension the out-

hauls.

Be sure the lines are straight and hook the

outhaul hook to the clew of the sail. Tighten

the outhaul and cleat it in the jam cleat. A

bungi cord will pull the excess line into the

boom for storage.

27) Install the sail link.

Note the stickers that identify the port and

starboard ends of the sail link. While on the

trailer, the starboard side is to rear. The pad

eye near the center of the sail link should be

up. Lift the sail link from the trailer and rotate it

counter-clockwise to attach the ends to the

booms. Note that the pad eye is about 5” to the

starboard of center line. 

Be sure that the stainless tabs on the booms

are horizontal and not vertical before attaching

the sail link. If the booms are reversed, con-

necting the sail link will damage it by prevent-

ing normal rotation. Be sure that the connect-

ing pin inserts as shown above. 

28) Position the mast rotator

bars.

Lower the mast rotator bar to the forward-

pointing, horizontal position and attach the

grey rotation line. Attach the rear rotation

inducer line (green) to the eye strap located on

the rear lower mast base.

29) Install the seat.

The smaller ID tube goes down and forward.

Install the forward tube and install the rear tube

in the corresponding slot in the rear support.

For example, if the forward tube is in the sec-

ond slot from the front, the rear tube will be the

second slot from the front. The seat should

have good tension in it.

Now the boat is ready.

When you are ready to launch, remove the

trailer tie-down bungi from the center beam

area.

NOTE: When launching the boat lift with your knees and not

your back.
