•Level the floor of your boat. (typically done using your trailer jack)
•Typically it’s best to mark the location for the rear leg mount on the side of the
gunnel and wait on the front leg locations.
•We suggest you use masking tape to cover the area where you will be placing the
mounts. This prevents scratches on the boat’s gel coat. Mark the EXACT
position of all the holes of the base plates.
Step #2: Drill the mount holes
Before drilling holes in your boat, make sure where the holes will go can be accessed
from inside the boat. This typically should not be a problem. If it is, then move the
tower forwards or backwards as necessary.
See our drilling guide at the end of
these instructions.
•Drill a 9/16” hole for each mount.
•You can use your gasket as a guide for your drill center
•Make sure to run your bit in reverse.
•It’s best to drill a 1/4” pilot hole first, then the 9/16” hole.
•If your hull is less than 3/8” thick, you will need to reinforce with additional
aluminum, fiberglass, or marine grade plywood.
