Installation
3.1
Important installation information
Please note the following important installation instructions:
-
We strongly recommend that the product specification, use and installation be checked by a
professional technician before purchase and that the installation is carried out by the same
person.
-
This manual is for advice only. THERE ARE TOO MANY HULL VARIATIONS IN ORDER
TO SPECIFY AN EXACT INSTALLATION OR AN INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR
EVERYONE.
-
Not intended for use in extreme conditions (i.e.: high forces from water, wind, etc.)
-
Tie downs must be installed in order to secure watercraft as described in chapter 3.3.
Be sure to install at least 2 stern tie downs, and one bow tie down. We also recommend
installing one tie down mid ship, which can greatly help keep the dinghy from rocking, as
well as act as a spring line.
-
Before each use, make sure that the davit arms are securely inserted into the deck plates.
-
Before each use, make sure that the chock assemblies are firmly fixed with locking screws.
-
Check the integrity of the hull, including hull thickness, chine and stringer locations, making
sure proper support will be provided.
-
Check where outboard engine will rest. A skid plate may be needed to protect deck. (Article
number 1st23VCSKEG;
https://www.1st-relief.com/en/outboard-skeg-rest.html
-
Remove the davit arms when not in use.
-
Rinse with freshwater after each use, as saltwater and other contaminants can cause
staining, even though we use the most corrosion resistant materials.
-
Under no circumstances should person/s or animal be allowed in watercraft whether
loading, or in stored position.
-
Do not add additional gear, etc. that may subject the watercraft to be over the maximum
weight capacity.
-
Always pull drain plug when stored to prevent excess water to accumulate, which could
cause excess weight.
-
Be sure the attachment bolts are secure before each use.
-
Please note there are two spacing options. Standard spacing for most swim platforms and
an optional spacing for narrower swim platforms. Standard spacing holes are provided in all
models. For narrower swim platforms, the optional holes must be drilled by installer (see
diagrams in the following pages).
