Reference 13August2014

It is critical to lubricate bolt threads with included Anti-Seize

before installing Nylock Nuts to prevent the precision stainless steel

hardware from galling and locking, even if you are test-fitting parts together

before installation.

Leave Legs and Top Section protected with bubble wrap sleeves, removing

only the ends as needed, to protect the boat and tower during installation.
