Distance of mounting boards from front wall is important, as it affects the position of the welded screw eye in Step 5A.
b. Plan location of mounting boaRds
Mounting boards are used to position Hoister directly
above boat to be lifted.
7806 Hoister (200 lb system) requires mounting boards
to span minimum three rafters.
NOTE: Mounting boards may not be necessary for
installation in ceiling with exposed rafters. In ceilings
with exposed rafters, system can be installed on raf-
ters. Position Hoister directly above boat to be lifted. If
installing without mounting boards, go to step 3.
Diagram 2.
Center boat under mounting points. Position
mounting boards so lifted boat is balanced.

DISTANcE bETWEEN mOUNTINg bOARDS
Distance between mounting boards should be 40% of
the length of your canoe or kayak.
If your rafter joist spacing is not a match for the 40%
rule, the spacing can be adjusted to 35% to 50% of the
boat's length to to align with a joist. For more details
on Spacing Guidelines go to www.Suspenz.com.

WARNINg! Do not screw into laminated rafters.
They are not intended to accept fasteners. consult
rafter maker for recommendations. Screwing
into laminated rafters may considerably weaken
system, causing load to fall which may cause
