INSTALLATION TO A WALL WITH WOOD STUDS
1. Select a proper location along the wall to install the kayak
storage rack. Make sure there is enough room to fit the length
of the boat that will be supported.
2. Using a stud finder or other means, locate the wooden stud
in the wall where the first kayak storage rack frame is to be
installed.
3. Select proper height for mounting the kayak storage rack.
Size of the boat and other objects to be supported should be
considered in selecting the right height from ground.
4. Mark center of stud width at the selected height. Using the
wall mount bracket as a template, mark the location of the
two mounting holes. Remove wall mount bracket and drill two
5/32 in. pilot holes at marked locations. Reposition wall mount
bracket to stud and secure it by screwing in two of the supplied
#12 screws (
FIG. 3
).
5. Mark location of the first mounting hole for bottom support
on the center of stud width exactly 12 in. below the wall mount
bracket bottom holes. Mark the second hole 1-1/2 in. vertically
below the first hole. Drill two 5/32 in. pilot holes at marked
locations. Position bottom support on drilled hole locations and
secure it with two of the supplied #10 long screws (
FIG. 4
).
6. Select a location for the second kayak storage rack frame.
Note: It is important to have proper spacing between the two frames.
This will depend on the dimensions and type of boat to be supported.
The boat will need to be well balanced between the two frames.
As a rule of thumb, a distance of 40% of the total boat length should
support the weight properly.
7. Repeat the process to locate and drill holes at second location
as described above. Make sure the marked location is exactly
at same height as the first bracket location. Secure the second
wall mount bracket and bottom support to stud.
