1.
Install 4
BUNK SOCKET BRACKETS
and
PLATES
on
front and rear CRADLES using Step 5 Bolt Package. Each
BUNK SOCKET
Assembly uses:
4 - 3/8 x 2-1/2" hex bolts
4 - 3/8 nylon locknuts
PLATES
should be placed on the outside of the
CRADLE
and the
BRACKETS
on the inside. Leave bolts loose to
allow for adjustment.
Place a
BUNK DOWN LEG
in each
BUNK SOCKET
BRACKET
and hold in place using:
1 - 3/8 x 2-1/2" clevis pin
1 - hairpin cotter
Determine proper location for
BUNKS
making sure
they are equal distance from the center of the cradle.
The simplest way to determine this is by measuring the
distance between the two inside bunks on your boat
trailer. If you do not have a trailer start with each bunk
16" from the center of the cradle (32" apart), or measure
to the flat fin on the bottom of the hull closest to the
16” mark. Slide the
BUNK SOCKETS
into position and
tighten all bolts.
If you are using the bunks for a Pontoon:
Measure the distance between the rib on the bottom of
each toon or log. Divide that measurement in half to get
the distance from the middle of the cradle to the center
of each bunk set. Each pair of bunks should be approxi-
mately 6” apart.
2.
Adjust
BUNK U CHANNEL
on underside of each
BUNK
to match
BUNK DOWN LEGS
and tighten 3/8 hex nut to
hold firmly in place. Do not overtighten!
Place
BUNKS
on top of
BUNK DOWN LEGS
and bolt in
place using:
4 - 1/2 x 3" hex bolts
4 - 1/2 nylon locknut
While holding
BUNK
flat snug bolt so bunk will still
pivot under the load of the boat. This will insure that
the bunks will conform to your boat. Load boat onto
lift making sure that the weight is balanced between
the two
CRADLES
. Check and reposition bunks as
necessary.
WARNING : NEVER ADJUST BUNKS WHILE BOAT IS
ON LIFT.
