I purchased a used 2015 Tandem Island.

I just noticed three oddly shaped foam blocks inside the hull.

Are these supposed to be there, or are they leftover from manufacturing or shipping?

If they're supposed to be inside the hull, what purpose do they serve?

Thanks!

The blocks provide added flotation to keep the hull afloat in the event of water ingress. They are not intended to provide any support to the hull and there is no specific location specified for placement. They should be kept away from any lines or control mechanisms they could entangle with.
