I recently purchased a new mesh tramp for my 83 18. The old one is a three piece and the new one is a single piece. Where can I get info on how to install the one piece unit?

Who built the boat?

If your new one piece mesh tramp is cut on the bias (when installed, the threads run on a diagonal to the hulls), then install the front of the tramp to the front beam, stretch the tramp side-to-side to run through the slots in each of the hulls (these need to be done together), then tension the back of the tramp. The bias cut of the tramp makes it tension side-to-side at the same time as front-to-rear. I loved mine!
