Sea Eagle FastTrack Kayaks (385FT, 385FTG, 465FT) - Manual (Page 10)

AB-30 Kayak Paddle
This four-part paddle
comes with right and left
blades, two shaft pieces
and two drip guards.
NOTE: Our AB-40 &
AB-50 Paddles can
also be assembled
and feathered using
the same directions
from the AB-30.
Put the shaft together
first. Insert the shaft
piece with the button
into the piece with three
holes. Lock the button
in the middle hole.
Next, slide the drip
guards up the shaft to
about an inch above the
button hole. Insert the
blades into the shaft
and adjust until the but-
ton locks the blade in
place.
The additional holes in
the shaft are for “feath-
ering” the blades.
Blades can be offset
45° from each other.
This makes paddling
into a stiff breeze easier
as the blade that is not
in the water will be able
to slice through the wind
with little resistance.
Scotty Rod Holders
Locate the rod holders
and the 7/8” caphead
bolts (usually located in-
side of the orange re-
pair kit canister).
Remove the mounting
base. NOTE: Scotty
Rod Holder is featured
only on the 385FTG.
Use the bolts to secure
the mounting base to
the pads glued onto the
boat. Orient the base to
the arrow points in-
board. Do not use bolts
longer than the ones
provided as they could
puncutre the boat.
Push the rodholder into
the mount. The key
must be aligned with the
groove in the base.
The rodholders can be
rotated by lifting slightly,
rotating to desired posi-
tion and pushing down
to lock in place.
