Step 4: Leg and Top Section Installation
Start with the starboard side and install the
½” x 4”
bolt
The head of the bolt will face inside the boat. Before putting the bolt through the case base place the
1 ½”
fender washer (pc.1) against the leg so that it is between the cast base and the leg section. Before installing
the brass nut (pc.4)
place the 1”
black nylon washer (pc.3) between the brass nut and cast base. Install the
decorative cap (pc.10) over the brass nut.
Insert the quick release knob (Pc.5) into the rear
section of the leg and tighten all the way. Once the
quick release knob is secure install the set screw
(pc.14) into the brass insert. Tighten the set screw
all the way to prevent the knob from coming out
completely when lowering the tower.
Once the knob and set screws are installed you can
insert the header section onto the leg section. Do
not remove the protective wrap from the leg
section until the install is complete.
Insert the port leg completely into the header section and line it up with the port cast base. Install the
½” x 4”
bolt
1 ½” fender washer (pc.1), 1” black nylon washer (pc.3), brass nut (pc.4), quick release knob
assembly (pc.5), and set screw (pc.14) identical to the installation on the starboard side.
Step 5: Aligning the Top Section
Now that everything is installed align the top section so the holes for the locking bolts (pc.12) can be drilled.
Using an X pattern measure from the edge of the top section to a reference on the opposite side cast base.
Use the same reference on both sides. Some easy references are the welds on the front of the leg or the
bottom of the leg mounting plates.
Once the top section is centered and level use the provided 10mm drill bit (pc.16) to drill through the top
section into the leg sections. The center pilot holes on each side of the top section are for the sound bar
wiring harness. If you do not plan on installing a sound bar do not drill this hole! Be sure to drill from the top
down and the bottom up. This will prevent any misalignment with the bottom pilot hole thus preventing top
section movement. Once the first hole is drilled install the
3/8” x 3" BHCS bolt
(pc.12) and use the provided
8mm allen wrench to tighten the bolt into the decorative header nut (pc.13). The decorative header nut will
sit flush against the top section. Continue this step for the remaining 3 bolts and install them accordingly.
