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!

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. |
