Attaching the Dock Hardware
It may be necessary to remove part of the Dock Planking in order to adequately fix the brackets on this
assembly, Lag screws should not be used, it is critical that bolts and washers are used to mount this
assembly. The permaport should not be attached to stringers that are less than 2” x 6” or in a decayed or
damaged condition
.
Take care not to drill through the floats under the dock
When Mounting to a fixed Dock it is essential that the water level is not able to come to within 15” of the
top of the dock. If there is a possibility this may occur the installation needs to be adapted to accommodate
this situation.
Front Mount
Determine the position that the Permaport is to be attached and mark a line on the stringer
representing the center of the Permaport. Mark a line 24” from the center line to both the
right and the left hand sides, these are the center lines of each of the Dock Brackets.
Alternatively, mark one line 5” from the edge of where the Permaport is to be positioned
and then a second line 48 “ from the first.
Position the Dock Bracket so the center of the tube lines up with the line
drawn on the dock, ensure that the bracket is firmly against the stringer
and drive in the two wood screws supplied (Note: If necessary, chamfer
the top front edge of the dock).
