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 (Assembly #C). The Cam Lever on 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 each of the Stainless Steel Screws
(Item #4), Flat Washers (Item #10) and Nylock Nuts
(Item #6). Insert the Screws from the bottom up,
through the Top Plate and into the DeckHand 40
Base and Davit. Place a Flat Washer and Nylock Nut
on the end of each Screw. Tighten the Nylock Nuts
with a 7/16" Box End or Open End Wrench. Make
sure all hardware is secure. Reattach the cover of
the DeckHand 40.
