Tools:
- Sharpie marker.
- Tape (masking tape works best).
- Scissors.
- Boat Information Sheet.
- Template Kit.
Instructions:
- Lay the clear vinyl film flat on the application surface, affix it to the surface with tape, and trace the “non-skid” texture, if present. If no non-skid texture is present, trace out the desired pattern.
- **For a design pattern, note the orientation from part to part if you want the lines to line up. We recommend drawing a few lines from part to part, so we can use them for alignment.
- Notate Bow, Stern, Starboard, and Port on the template.
- Please identify cut outs, hinges, screw holes, and/or latches. Also, number each part individually.
- Please identify the top side of the pattern.
- Write your name, phone number, and colour choices on the template.
- Do NOT cut vinyl film on the line you traced. Please leave for the digitizing process.
- Take photos of your traced pattern on the boat before detaching. Email the photos to your Mooving-Sport™ contact, and they will be added to your project file.
- Fill out the forms that were enclosed with the template kit completely. Please, use the boat outline on the form to roughly sketch each part location with numbers. Use the column to the left of that to describe each numbered part. Roughly sketch each part location with numbers. Use the numbered column to the left of the diagram to describe each numbered part.
- If a logo is desired, please describe the logo and call to verify that it can be used. If a boat name (text) is desired, specify the font style you would like to use along with two alternate options. If no text style is selected, we will use a block style generic font.
- Please mail templates back to: Mooving-Sport™ Port Camille Rayon, 06220 Vallauris, France.
Take your time when creating the template, as your work will decide how accurate our work will be. Please be aware, we are always within a 3mm tolerance of the templates received, so please try to be as precise as possible.
Tools:
- Dry Fit Templates
- Scissors
- Sharpie Marker
- Material and Boat Information Sheet
Instructions
- Use scissors to cut out each templated part, leaving as much clear Mylar film as possible around each piece in case you need to mark a size increase.
- Place each part on your boat in the exact position to which it will be applied. If there is moulded non-skid on your boat, then the parts should be aligned to the pattern.
- Use the enclosed Boat Information Sheet to identify where each part number is to go in the boat.
- Verify each piece fits correctly, and that the part-to-part orientation lines match up correctly.
- The lines on your template are NOT faux teak lines. They are part to part orientation lines. By confirming that your orientation lines match up correctly—this helps to ensure that your preferred pattern (i.e. diamond pattern, hexagon pattern, faux teak pattern, etc.) line up correctly from piece to piece.
- If a change is needed it is recommended to show the change clearly with your marker and make a notation of the area changed on the mylar film and on the boat information sheet.
- If a size increase is needed beyond the space left after cutting out each part, you can attach more Mylar film to the edge and tape along the underside. Then make your tracing. You can also show a notation of the area to be grown and by how much without having to tape more mylar film to it.
- Revisions should be made as clearly as possible, so that additional revisions will not be required.
- If no changes are required, then there is no need to ship the dry fits back. You can email/ call your Mooving-Sport™ contact and notify them that the dry fit templates fit correctly.
- If alterations were made to the dry fit templates, please be sure to take photos of the dry fit changes while they are still attached to the boat and email them to your contact at Mooving-Sport™ (or to info@moovingsport.com).

Tools:
1. Sharp razor knife
2. Isopropyl Alcohol (Propan-2-ol) or Acetone (Propan-2-one)
3. Masking tape
Storage:
Mooving-Sport™ should be stored in a cool, dry, indoor location until installed on boat.
Installation Limitations:
1. Do NOT install Mooving-Sport™ in temperatures below 15.6 degrees Celsius.
2. Do NOT attempt to remove and adjust placement once pad is down.
Preparation:
1. Use isopropyl alcohol or acetone to thoroughly clean the surface are where Mooving-Sport™ will be applied. Please follow your State and/or Country regulations for proper chemical handling.
2. Make sure all grease, adhesive, mould-release, wax and other substances are removed before installing the product. The area must be completely dry before applying pads.
Installation
1. Before you peel back the adhesive backing, place the pads on the surface area to verify the fit and spacing to determine the exact location of the pad(s).
2. Turn pad over so that the adhesive backing is face up. With a sharp razor knife, carefully cut the paper adhesive backing from the centre of the pad towards the edges (centre to top edge, centre to bottom edge) to ensure it does not rip. Be sure to completely cut through the adhesive backing but DO NOT cut into the pad.
3. Starting from the centre cut you just made, peel back 5cm of the paper backing and fold to crease it. Repeat on the other side. Fold both pieces of the paper backing back in place to cover the adhesive.
4. Turn the pad back over and reposition it exactly where you want it installed.
5. Firmly secure one side of the pad to the surface are using masking tape. Taping prevents the pad from moving.
6. Lift the side that is not taped down and peel the paper backing to the crease. Gently lay the pad back in place.
7. Firmly press down on the pad where the exposed adhesive is. Apply pressure from the centre of the pad outward (centre to top, centre to bottom) to ensure no air is trapped beneath the pad.
8. Continue to lift the pad and peel back the paper backing to expose an additional 5cm – 7.5cm and repeat step.
DO NOT PULL OR STRETCH THE PAD(S)!
1. Once the first side is complete, remove the masking tape and repeat steps 7 and 8 for the other half of the pad. Apply pressure to the pad to ensure there’s a firm bond between the pad and the surface area.
2. Firmly press down on all edges to ensure no water will permeate the pads.
