19. Assemble the wheel and frame.
Slide the wheel between the forks of the wheel frame. Slide one
washer on the axle, insert the axle through both the forks and the
wheel hub. Slip the other washer over the end of the axle and secure
with the cotter pin.
It may be necessary to apply side force to the forks in order to secure
the cotter pin into the hole in the axle.
Applying a small amount of waterproof grease to the axle regularly will
keep it rolling smoothly.
20. Attach the wheel.
Turn your pontoon boat on its side. You will notice under the
seat that there are two square receiver tubes. The one that
is mounted on center line is used when the wheel is in the
DOWN position, when moving your pontoon boat. The other
is angled off center line, and is used when the wheel is in the
UP position, for storing your boat and during fishing.
To secure the wheel in the DOWN position, slide the square
wheel support tube with the wheel facing down into the
center line mounted square receiver tube. Line up the holes
in both the support tube and the receiver tube and insert the
clevis pin attached to the seat frame. Tighten the screw knob
to keep the frame snug.
To secure the wheel in the UP position, rotate the wheel
assembly 90 degrees so the wheel axle is facing the wire
cargo deck, slide the wheel support tube into the
off center line mounted square receiver tube. Line up the
holes in both tubes and insert the clevis pin.
