Setting Up The Lifesling2:
Mount the Lifesling2 on a rail using the three Velcro straps attached to the bag to mount the bag inside of the stern railing or pulpit. For added strength, make sure to have the Velcro completely overlap each other. When installing the Lifesling2, tie and seize the nylon-covered end of the polypropylene retrieval to any strong point on board. Seizing is necessary to prevent knots in the Lifesling2 line from coming undone. TheLifesling2, similar to an anchor, will be useless if the end of the retrieval is not fastened to the boat! Do not remove the nylon cover. It is there to protect the polypropylene line from degradation from the sun. Make sure that none of the retrieval line is exposed to the sun or it will weaken.
