To use this mount in a T-top rod holder, first check to
ensure the rod holder is firmly welded in place.
2)
Unscrew the bottom Locking Knob from the
mount and set aside.
3)
Ensure the plastic sleeve (sliding wedge) is on the
mount leg with the thinner, beveled end toward the
gimbal butt end.
4)
Slide the Adjustable Rod Holder Mount butt end into
the rod holder. The threads on the butt end should
align on either side of the rod holder pin. Ensure the
threads extend through the butt of the rod holder.
5)
Adjust the plastic sleeve of the mount so it is securely
tucked into the rod holder. (This helps eliminate
mount movement.)
6)
Re-install the bottom Locking Knob until it is
securely in place. There should not be any wiggle
room for the mount to move.
NOTE: To install this mount in a gunnel rod holder,
please read the section titled SHADEFIN GUNNEL

the ShadeFin to move up and down.

You are now ready to open and enjoy your ShadeFin. Continue to the section titled “Operation
& Deployment” on page 10.
