BUNCEBUSTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the mount for installing the BouncecBuster, pull the rope handle up to release the locking mechanism. When the
bow arm is raised at an approximate 45 degree angle, place a block of wood between the bow arm and the deck channel.
(See photos below.) After the tension is relieved, the BounceBuster can be installed.
1) Remove the E-ring, spacer
washers and top pivot pin as
shown.
2) Install the self-adhesive
pads on the underside of the
bracket ends.
3) Position the BounceBuster
bracket so that the pads on the
underside are resting on the flat
surface of the Bracket door
assembly. The rope hole should
be placed toward the inside of the
boat. Reinstall the pivot pin,
washer spacers and E-ring.
4) Place the rubber end cap on the
end of the support tube without
holes.
Remove the plug in the handle.
Untie the knot in the rope. Slip
the rope out of the handle.

7) Remove the support tube from
the bracket. Remove the padded
end cap from the tube. Using the
measurement from Step 6 plus ¼

5) Slide the support tube into the
BounceBuster bracket with the
rubber end cap facing toward the
back of the boat.
8) Place the support tube
back into the BounceBuster
bracket aligning the holes on
the tube with the holes on
the bracket. Secure the
tube to the bracket with the
roll pin. Install the plug in
the tube end.
9) Route the rope end through the bushing in the
bracket and then route the rope through the hole in
the handle. Tie a Stevedor knot in the rope end and
then install the plug in the handle over the knot.
Test the BounceBuster by putting the mount back
in the stow position. The Mount should lie flat and
the stow lock pins should engage. If the mount
does not lie flat and the lock pins do not engage, an
additional cutting adjustment may be needed.
