The DuoGen is supplied complete with a universal mount kit. This hardware has been
designed to offer flexibility of mount options. In most cases, the universal mount bracket is
simply clamped to the existing pushpit rail and the swivel foot at the bracket’s base is
through-bolted to the coaming or transom. Once in place, the universal bracket provides
the upper and lower mount points for the DuoGen.
Of course, yachts vary widely in size and form. In some cases, such as canoe stern yachts
or yachts with extended bathing platforms, some additional bracketry may be required.
Eclectic Energy has lots of experience of installing DuoGens, and can offer offer advice
and suggestions for achieving the best installation - a photograph or drawing with some
key dimensions such as freeboard and rail height & diameter will help us advise you.
The DuoGen should be placed either on or as close to the yacht’s centre line as possible.
This minimises the effects of heeling on the running depth of the water mode. However, in
practice, if the mounting is within 800 - 900 mm of the yacht’s centre line, the DuoGen will
perform well.
Once the DuoGen has been installed all subsequent operations and mode changes are
accomplished without the need for tools.
For information on achieving an optimal mounting on your yacht, refer to the dimensioned
mounting schematic provided in your Manual pack.
Universal mount bracket installation instructions are included in the appendix at the end of
this manual.
