FLOAT CAT 60/75 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1- Pontoon Placement
Note: The seat faces the rear or aft of the boat
(sometimes refered to as the "stern"). The front of the boat is refered to as the "bow". Float Cats are paddled or
rowed with your body facing aft (with your back to the direction of travel).

logo end. Position pontoons facing the same direction with the side Hobie diamond logos facing out.
