Installing the Bunk System
The platform can now be raised that the cables are attached to the
platform. Raise the platform approximately waist high by pressing
the UP button. When the platform reaches this height let the button
return to its normal position and the platform will stop.
Refer to the drawing on page one to familiarize yourself for the
bunk installation. Then using Detail I on page 7 locate the following
parts: four adjustable bunk brackets, two (2) carpeted bunk assem-
blies, four (4) 3/8” x 1” hex bolt, four (4) 3/8” flange lock nuts, four
(4) ½” x 5 9/16” x 3” U-bolt, eight (8) ½” lock washers, and eight (8)
½” hex nuts.
Place one of the ½” x 5 9/16”x 3” U-bolts around the platform tube
as shown from the end of the hoist so the legs of the U-bolt are
pointing inward. Position one of the adjustable bunk brackets so
that the small hole on one end of the bracket is up. Align the third
hole in the adjustable bunk bracket with the top leg of the U-bolt,
then with the holes matched to the legs of the U-bolt slip it over the
legs. Secure with ½” lock washers and ½” hex nuts. The third hole
is a good starting point. The bunks may need to be adjusted in a
higher position than this adjustment if your boat has a deep-V hull.
Repeat this process on the adjustable bunk bracket assembly on
the other platform on the other end of the hoist. Make sure that the
adjustable bunk bracket is mounted on the inside of the platform
tube.
Place the bunk assembly on top of the two adjustable bunk brack-
ets just installed. Align the hole in the bunk bracket already at-
tached to the bunk assembly with the small hole in the top of the
adjustable bunk bracket. Insert a 3/8” x 1” hex bolt through the
holes and secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut. Repeat on the other
end of the bunk assembly. Tighten the nuts on the bolts until snug
but do not over tighten. The bunks must be allowed to rotate slightly
so they can conform to the bottom of the boat when it is placed on
the hoist.
Repeat the above process on the remaining bunk assembly on the
other side of the hoist.
