You line up the end of the Velcro with the top end of the Velcro on the emboidered strap. This should create a double S style of the strap.The buckles goes to the inside, so the strap flops out over the deck out of the way. The lower strap with the stainless steel buckle is on the lower end of the S leg. >S The screws are all placed _ (flat) on each end of the lower section below that next bend up on your strap, with two and a matching finish washer on each end. Which means four screws. The inside screws are close to the buckle, though not pressing down on it. Which allows the buckle to be solid, though pivot. The up and back strap then is secured by the screws. The strap then runs over your rods and back through the buckle. The Velcro will be up on this section. The strap then folds back pointing to the outside, which locks the top strap section into the opposing center section of itself. SYou lay your rods on the flat section, loop the strap over, and can place a couple of rods on top of that section for Easy access. Though it is not NEAR as secure. You will not loose rods with these straps, and once you get used to them, they are pretty quick. Not as quick as bungees or retractable, though much more durable and dependable. We will see if P & A can get a picture for you tomorrow if you still need one. Good Luck! BCB
