These came in the TI parts bag when I picked it up. Can someone tell me what these are used for?

The two black things are scupper plugs and the line is to connect them together (at least that's what I did). The allen wrench is to tighten all the fittings on the boat. I also believe that in order to install the riser for the rudder handle it takes the allen wrench.

I suspect that those scupper plugs have been made obsolete with the new seat drainage system

Thanks Tom, That makes sense.

I will be sure to put the allen wrench in a tool kit I am putting together to have on the TI.
I was also planning on putting the risers on the rudder handles. I will probably wait to use them, but the riser looks like it would be more comfortable.

thanks again!

There are two scuppers just ahead of the rear seat drive well. I use the scupper plugs in those. At higher speeds water tends to "spit" out of them if left open! :lol:

My dealer went ahead and just installed the risers. I didn't even ask him to do that, but I do find it comfortable with the new seat height. @RandomJoe, nobody told me that's what they were for but that's where I figured they belonged.

Hopefully they used some loctite - those screws can easily back out if there wasn't any used.

I'm going to go over all my screws tonight and add Loctite if it wasn't used.
