Step 1

Slide the triglide fitting over one end of the strap.

Step 2

Insert the end of the strap through the other opening in the triglide fitting.

Step 3

Insert the end of the strap through the D-ring that is mounted to the inside of the canoe.

Step 4

Bring the strap back to the triglide fitting and thread it through the triglide as shown.

Step 5

Thread the end of the strap through the other opening in the triglide fitting.

Step 6

Pull the strap tight and adjust the triglide fitting so that it is about 2-3 inches from the D-ring. Allow the end of the strap to hang over about 2-3 inches past the triglide fitting.

Step 7

On the other end of the strap, a fastek buckle will be attached. Note that the serated bar on the fastekbuckle is facing up.

Step 8

Insert the strap through the opening closest to the buckle opening.

Step 9

Feed the strap over the serated bar and through the other buckle opening.

Step 10

Pull the strap tight and adjust the fastek buckle so that about 2-3 inches of strap is exposed. Adjust the overall length of the strap by sliding the end of the strap through the fastek buckle.

Complete the installation by installing the other straps, making sure that the mate to the fastek buckles are properly aligned with the opposing straps.
