A washstrake made of bamboo splits sewn together with bamboo withies, and held in position by lashings. A heavy beam is fitted forward and used for winding the anchor cable and bitting it. The steering gear consist of a paddle held on the quarter on a stout upright and held at the neck by a rattan lashing.: 351–352

Role
In Selangor coast, the kakap is used as a fishing boat, under the name of kakap Jeram. Jeram is the name of a big fishing village in the Kuala Selangor district. Its name can be interpreted as "Jeram scouter".: 351–352
For piracy activities, the kakap does not sail alone but often accompanies a penjajap and is used as an observer in piracy activities. If a merchant ship encounters such a boat, a penjajap or lanong must be hiding in the nearby waters. A kakap is also suitable for going along the beach and sailing to the river estuary. If attacked, a kakap can land easily on the beach or river bank to make it easier for the crew to escape to the mangrove or palm forest area while carrying the boat with them. Sea people use a kakap that can contain 20 people for piracy activities at sea.: 183–184
