1.
Position the left and right struts on the transom,
wheels facing out and spread well apart to provide
lateral stability.
2.
Mark the center of hole “TOP” for both struts or cen-
ter in the hole that may already be there. It is impor-
tant that the weight is carried by the strut brackets,
not by the knob assemblies.
3.
Using the template printed on the next page of this
document, align hole “TOP” with the the left-hand
mark on the transom. Make certain that the strut as
outlined on the template is vertical. Mark the “LEFT”
hole. Repeat for the right-hand strut and mark the
“RIGHT” hole.
4.
Drill through the transom at “RIGHT” and “LEFT”
using a 3/8" (9.5 mm) drill.
5.
Assemble the transom hardware as shown in drawing
below. Bolt into place.

With everything positioned, check the alignment of
hole “TOP” and drill using a 3/8" (9.5 mm) drill.
