Cutting
Measure and cross-cut a piece of the 4x4 48” long. This piece should be free of any large knots which could weaken it.
This piece will become the “Winch Strut”. (Using a 7” Circular saw will require cutting from both sides to get all the way
through.)
Measure and cross-cut two pieces of the 2x4 36” long. These pieces will become the “Front Foot” and “Rear Foot”.
Mark the angled cuts on the top, rear ends of the 2x6 sides by measuring 7” along the top edge, and 1-¼” down the end
and marking with a straight edge. Cut using a suitable saw.
Sanding (Recommended)
Sand to clean up the angled cuts on the 2x6’s. Add a radius to the edges of the cut and around the ends so as to avoid
any sharp edges that could contact your PWC.
Sand a radius on the edges of the cut ends of the 2x4 Rear Foot and Front Foot to avoid any sharp edges that could get
stepped on by bare feet.
4x4’s typically do not come with radius corners. Sand a radius on the corners and the edges of the cut end of the Winch
Strut to avoid any sharp edges near the winch handle.
Mark & Drill the Axle Holes in the 2x6 Sides
To avoid later confusion on which is the outside face of the sides, lay them down alongside each other with inner faces
down, the top edges next to each other, and the two cut corners next to each other. Mark the outer face.
Measure 9” in from the end of the 2x6 Side with the angled cut to the first hole. After that, the 8 total holes are spaced
every 16”. For best results, align the two sides and mark them together. Each axle hole is ¾” from the top edge.
Use a ¾” drill bit. These holes will need to be precisely perpendicular for best results and ease of assembly. Using a Drill
Guide or even a Drill Press is strongly recommended to ensure these holes are bored precisely perpendicular. To avoid
chipping that could interfere with wheel rotation, drill from the outside face.
