Sea Eagle FastTrack Kayaks (385FT, 385FTG, 465FT) - Manual (Page 9)

One-Way Air Valve
Tether the white valve to
the valve base. Stretch
the ring over the base.
The ring fits in a groove
in the base.
TIP: Soak valve caps
inwarm water to make
installing the ring over
the base easier.
Pump Adapter
This triple nozzle
adapter comes with the
foot pump and is
needed to inflate the
DKS. Insert the ribbed
end of the large
rounded adapter piece
into the hose.
Screw the valves in the
bases tightly. Inflate the
chambers with the foot
pump. Adjust the pres-
sure for your comfort.
Screw the cap on. Make
sure the valve is tight or
the seat will lose air
while you sit on it.
Attach the deluxe seat
using the clips on the
straps to the D-rings on
your kayak. If you’re
solo paddling, position
your seat in the bow of
your kayak. For solo
paddling, position at the
midpoint of the kayak.
Tall Back Seat
(OPTIONAL)
The TBS is designed to
put the user in a more
upright position with a
lower center of gravity.
Two of the four straps
pull the sides forward
and two backward.
For the rearward seat,
clip the back straps to
the spray skirt D-rings
and the foward straps to
the D-rings just in front
of the seat.
TIP: When getting in the
kayak, place your
weight on the seat pad
while trying not to knock
back the upright back-
rest pad. When sitting,
arch your lower back
forward and avoid lean-
ing high on the back of
the seat. You will feel
the seat support your
lumbar region.
Below are examples of the seat placement for the 385FTG,
385FT and 465FT kayaks. Although the examples feature
the DFSG & TBS seat, the DKS seats can also be placed in
the same and similar locations (shown below, not to scale).
