I would add getting the spray skirt wet along with the cockpit rim will help with tight spray skirts. Also stretching the skirt prior to putting it on may be beneficial, especially for a rand type spray skirt.

Yes, absolutely, great tips for sure. Thanks for watching!

That looks like a level 6 jack. I noticed you pulled back on the release handle without having to pull forward first. Is that correct?

Thanks for checking out the video. With a skirt like the back you typically don't have to pull forwards to release the skirt as it isn't designed to be a super tight fit. That is a good catch though, many of the rand skirts particularly will require you to pull forwards a little to release the skirt.
