Seat: Secure seat with the Tarpon Seat Clip, sold separately (image to right). Use the Tarpon Seat Clip as a replacement part or for new custom install (Pompano kayak). The Tarpon Seat Clip comes with optional mounting hardware.
Assembly: Memorize your original seat configuration for replacement. For new installations on Pompano, drill one hole for the seat clip screw. The rubber back washer (inside) seals against water. Tighten the nut with a wrench through open rear hatch. Secure side straps with handle screws that are already on your kayak. Leave pull rings free. Bungee hooks clip behind seat. All original parts.
