BUOYANCY MECHANISM – Assembly on the Hull
II -1- ASSEMBLING THE BUOYANCY MECHANISM ON THE HULL
1
To facilitate positioning of the buoyancy mechanism, apply liquid soap (A) to the hull rails
2
Place the bolt rope (a) of the buoyancy mechanism in the hull rail (b) located in the
bow of the hull. Pull on the buoyancy mechanism until the mini-bolt rope faces the rail.
3
- Proceed in the same way for the other side of the buoyancy mechanism.
- The two 2 flaps (tightness and outer) must pass over the tip of the hull.
- Fix the sealing flap to the hull using the screws and fabric washers (supplied) lifting the
tip of the buoyancy mechanism.
- Move the tip of the buoyancy mechanism forwards to fold the outer flap down under the
tip of the hull.
- Pull the 2 tabs of the buoyancy mechanism again as far as possible towards the aft end of
the boat, and try to centre the tip with the bow of the hull.
- Slightly inflate the tip of the buoyancy mechanism to check that it has been well centred
and that it matches the hull perfectly. - Begin the operation again if the buoyancy
mechanism is not correctly positioned.
