minimum of 3/8” thick.  If the fiberglass is not at least 3/8” thick, you will need to 
add fiberglass cloth to build up the thickness to at least 3/8”.  

FAILURE TO 

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE SEVERE DECK DAMAGE.  

Use care when working with fiberglass and resins and follow all manufacturers’ 
instructions and safety procedures. 
 
Drill a ½” hole on the port and starboard sides of the boat as shown in Fig. 18. 
Remove the clevis foot from the port rear tube assembly and the starboard rear 
tube assembly by removing the 3/8”-16 X 1-1/2” socket head cap screw from 
each as shown in Fig. 19. Insert the ½”-13 X 3” socket head cap screw that is 
part of the clevis foot into the ½” hole previously drilled as shown in Fig. 20. 
making sure to put the wear plates on both sides of the fiberglass.  On the inside 
of the boat, other side of the fiberglass, after the ½” bolt from the clevis is the 
wear plate put the ½” nylon flat washer against the wear plate, then the ½” 
stainless steel flat washer, the ½” lock washer and finally the ½”-13 lock nut as 
shown in Fig. 21. When mounting the clevis feet, tighten them down, but leave 
them loose enough so you can swivel them.  When you attach the clevis pin of 
the clevis foot to the lower tube of the port and starboard rear tube assemblies, 
leaving the clevis feet loose will make it easier to line it up with the tube.
