If you have two molded
inserts on the side of your
boat, mount the eyelet
posts to the inserts. You
will need to take apart
the well nut assembly and
use the eye post provided.
Use the 10-32 X 3/4”
Flathead screw. Place
a drop of Loctite on the
threads.

Thru-bolt one of the eyelet posts near the back of
the mounting board using the provided screw, nut
and washer. The mounting hole must be drilled
using a 3/16” drill bit. Use the illustration below for

If installing on a standard Hobie Kayak or a Pro Angler that does not have
inserts, find the two cheek blocks and set them approximately 12” from the
bow and the stern. Drill two 3/16” holes for the hardware that will hold the
cheek blocks in place. THE BLOCKS SHOULD BE LOCATED ABOVE THE
WATERLINE.

Once the holes are drilled, fasten the cheek blocks onto the
kayak with the correct hardware; Use the hatches on the
bow and stern to access the screws when thru-bolting. Make
sure the blocks are facing inwards.

For kayaks without
inserts, drill two 3/8”
holes per the diagram
below. The ledges on the
side of the kayak used
to hold the paddle make
for an ideal location for
the eye post/well nut
assembly.

ALLOW THE EYEPOST
TO BE FIXED ABOVE
THE TROLLEY LINE.

By turning the screw,
the well nut expands to
fasten the eyelet post
and provide a watertight
seal. Turn the screw
until the eyelet post is
firmly mounted. OVER
TIGHTENING WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE WELL NUT.

Install the well nut
assemblies into the
two 3/8” holes you
drilled.

Wind/Current Direction
Anchor Point

Wind/Current Direction
To drift sideways,
slide the trolley to the
middle then loop the
top trolley line over the
eyelet post screwed to
the mounting board.
Tips:
Add a clip such as a
caribiner to the rings
for running anchor
lines freely. Add extra
bungee line to your
anchor line if more give
is desired.
Maintenance
Over time, the line will stretch and slacken on the sides of the boat. Tighten up
the lines periodically to keep the trolley system taut.
