Installation instructions for Searey's new splash guard that protects the tail wheel gear during water landings. Without the splash guard, over flaring on water landings can result in damage to the tail gear.
The other day, I had 425 lbs of people plus 16 gallons of fuel. Took a chance and landed in the water. Wasn't sure if we would get out, but full throttle and 4 seconds later, we were on step. 11 seconds to airborne. We weren't climbing at a thousand feet a minute, but still impressive. This thing definitely made all the difference.
