CAUTION
Cutting the Aluminum Rod too short will cause
inadequate support of the mount. Lack of mount support
may cause damage.
CAUTION
Adjusting the Aluminum Rod too tightly removes the end
play needed for proper latch pin engagement and doing
so could prevent the mount from fully latching in the
stowed position. Improper latching may cause damage.
If installed correctly, the tip of the Aluminum Rod should
lift off of the boat deck about 1/4” without the mount
unlatching.
