h. Place the Inner Plate on the bow of the boat and
align it with the holes that were drilled using
the template as a guide. For the best fit, it is
recommended that the mounting surface under the
Inner Plate is completely flat. Use shims or rubber
washers to level the mounting surface if needed.
If the Inner Plate is not mounted flat, the Handle
Assembly will not slide properly.
i. Fasten the Inner Plate to the bow of the boat using
four ¼”- 20 x 3” Stainless Steel Screws (Item #16),
four Flat Washers (Item #18), and four Nylock Nuts
(Item #20). The Screws should pass through the
Inner Plate, then the Bow, then the Flat Washers and
Nylock Nuts.
NOTICE:
If the Handle Assembly does not slide easily into
place after completing the installation, it may be necessary
to drill out the Handle Rod Holes using a letter “F” (.257”)
drill bit.
