Resources Required

• 1 - 2 people, depending on the task
• Electric or cordless drill or screw gun
• Phillips head screwdriver (2)
• Phillips head drive bit
• 

3/8

” hex drive socket

• Tape measure
• Non-permanent method of marking

Preparation

Prior to ordering the desired kit, determine the proper size 

(length) of the support tube required to adequately meet 

the pontoon’s structure and floor plan.

1. 

With the frame assembly in its fully extended position, 

take a vertical measurement from the flat surface of a 

railing to the front strut on the side of the boat that may 

have an obstruction, such as a door or seat, that may get 

in the way of the front sport arms.

NOTE: 

The actual position of the sport arm tube may have 

to move forward slightly to provide a 

1/16

” gap between the 

tube’s edge and the front strut 

(Fig.1)

.

2. 

If the measurement is 34”-38”, or greater, use 36” 

sport arms.

NOTE: 

For the 36” sport arms, use 38” total as a guide for 

the added hardware

3. 

If the measurement is 32”-34”, or less, use 32” 

sport arms.

NOTE: 

For the 32” sport arms, use 34” total as a guide for 

the added hardware
Use 36” sport arms if possible. The longer the sport arms 

that are used, the more strength will be added to the front 

frame. If not possible, use the 32” sport arms to achieve 

the recommended added strength to the front frame.
Make sure to order the color that matches the frame;
• clear (silver) or
• black.
