Otter Cabin Seats

My Cabin finally came in and so far I am very impressed! I spent some time last night putting on the hyfax and sealing the threads/bolts with silicone. I got the seat rail put on, but was kind of confused on the seats and how they attach, as the directions aren’t very clear. I hope I am just over thinking it.

For anyone with the 1200 or that has experience putting them together, is this how they are supposed to sit? This is a pic with it just leaning up on the seat rail….if I try to push it forward from that position it will just bend the rail forward? So do I need to have the end caps off of the seat rail and then slide it in that way and then put the end caps back on? I just don’t understand why it is not better detailed in the instructions?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I just want to make sure that I don’t mess anything up or have to backtrack steps. Thanks!

Yep, being new they will be a little stiff when you first try to put the seats down. What I did is took a file and filed some of the plastic off of the seat bracket so it would “rotate” around the bracket easier. After a few times out, they will free up also. They are just new and need time to “form” around the aluminum bracket.

Thanks brother, very much appreciated. Another guy suggested using a little WD40 at first as well. It was just so tight when I tried to force it on the rail and the brackets attached to the rail started to bend, so I thought I was doing something wrong. I guess I am overly paranoid and don’t want to break something. Thanks again,
