Installing the Top Plate to a DeckHand 40
a. Remove the DeckHand 40 cover. Place the Davit
just inside the Base so that the two mounting holes
on the edge of the Davit align with the two mounting
holes on the edge of the Base. The Davit should
point outboard.
b. Position the combined Base and Davit over the Top
Plate (Item #2). The Padlock Slot in the Top Plate
should point inboard. Align the mounting holes in the
Top Plate with the mounting holes in the Base and
Davit. Only the four holes that are farthest outboard
will be used to install the Top Plate to the Deckhand
40. The remaining two holes furthest inboard will not
be used.
c. Take four Hex Head Cap Screws (Item #14) and
four Nylock Nuts (Item #16). Insert the Screws from
the bottom up, through the Top Plate and into the
DeckHand 40 Base and Davit. Secure each Screw
with a Nylock Nut and tighten with a 7/16" Box End
or Open End Wrench. Make sure all hardware is
secure. Reattach the cover of the DeckHand 40.
