1. Attach the U-bolt centered vertically in a way that will not get in way of other U-bolts. (see fig. 1)

2. Stand on the PWC in an operating stance. On the port side, mark area where the back of your calf is.

3. Taking the seat off, drill a hole with a 3/16th drill bit to fit the two ends of the attachment rope through. The hole should be drilled underneath the edge of the seat in line of the area marked on the step before.

4. Undo the knot on the rope provided, leaving it threaded threw the webbing. Place both ends threw the drilled hole and tie an overhand knot on the inner hull keeping the rope in place.

*** Note: the slack in the webbing shouldn’t be too loose that it passes more that halfway down the side of the gunnel, but not to tight as it will engage the shackle unwontedly.
