III. Vinyl and Mesh Wing
Trampolines
I
Both mesh and vinyl wing trampolines assem-
ble in the same way.
1. Lay one wing frame (part no. 12) alongside
each hull as if they were being inserted
into the hulls to make it easier to identify
each side. The steeply angled end of each
wing should be facing toward the sterns.
2. Lay the wing trampoline (part no. 13)
beside each wing frame to verify the cor-
rect side as in Fig. 9. Fig. 10
3. Slide the wing trampolines onto the front
end of the wing frame. Be sure to slide all
three sections onto the frame.

4. Once the wing tramp is fitted over the wing
Fig. 9 frame, slide the wing frame compression
bar (part no. 14) through the trampoline
opening as in Fig. 12. Attach the opposite
end over the casting.
Note
The wing sleeve will only fit when you start
installing it from the front end of the wing
frame. Look closely at the frame and you'll
notice one end has a casting which extends
further from the frame. The sleeve of the tram-
poline will not slide over this casting. (See Fig-
ure 10.) Slide the sleeve on from the side shown
in Figure 11.

5. The wing now must be sprung enough to
allow the compression bar to slip over the
opposite casting. Use your foot to spread
the wing apart slightly. Slip the compres-
sion bar over the casting and slowly release
