Weight plate mounting
For SW and FW models only.
If you prefer the freedom of moving the foot pedal to any
location on the boat deck, you will need to mount the weight
plate to give the foot pedal additional stability.

MAKING FINAL TOUCHES
Hard mounting the foot pedal to the deck
If you are planning to permanently mount your foot pedal, two
holes have been provided which allow you to screw the pedal to
the deck. These holes are located on the left and right side of
the pedal on the pedal base. The holes are designed to
accommodate a flat head, #10, wood screw.
Adjusting the foot pedal resistance
The purpose of setting the pedal resistance is to make the pedal
feel the way that you want it to feel. You may adjust the clutch
mechanism to change how firm the pedal feels. The pedal
resistance can be adjusted using a phillips screwdriver and a
(13 mm) 1/2 inch wrench. To make this adjustment, rock the
pedal heel-down and either tighten or loosen the adjustment nut
under the pedal. Your pedal should operate smoothly without
binding or slipping.
The pedal has a center position stop that you can feel while
rocking from end to end. This is done with the ball detent screws
shown in the figure. They are factory set to give maximum
pressure to this feature and are not intended to be field
adjusted.
