3.
The base of the bracket includes a Plunger that is used to adjust the Swivel Base of the bracket. The Swivel Base can be locked into 7
positions by pulling out the Plunger and rotating it up to 180 degrees at 30 degree increments.
4.
Once a mounting location is selected, determine if the bracket will be mounted with or without the Removable Base. The Removable
Base is recommended if the bracket needs to be removed for boat covers, etc. Check for clearance at the selected location to make
sure that the bracket does not encounter any obstructions while it is in use or when it is rotated or folded down. The Body that
captures the Shaft can be rotated 360 degrees. Check for any additional obstructions such as a windshield or existing boat accessory
such as lights or cable routing. If the Removable Base is used for mounting, make sure that there is enough clearance for the
Non-removable Base to be slid apart and separated from it.
INSTALLATION
1
ITEM(S) NEEDED
a.
Review the mounting considerations at the beginning
of installation and select a mounting location. Take
the Bow Mount Stabilizer Bracket (Item #A) and
determine if it will be mounted with the Removable
Base and become familiar with how the bracket
operates.
b.
Once a mounting location and base are selected,
and with the bracket fully assembled, position the
bracket on the deck of the boat as it is intended to
be used. Take an Awl or similar marking tool and
mark the location of the 4 mounting holes on the
deck of the boat. Also mark the perimeter of the
bracket with a pencil or marking tool.

c.
Take a scissors and cut out the mounting template.
It is located on the back of the card included in the
packaging. The Removable and Non-removable Base
use the same bolt pattern detailed on the template.
d.
Note the orientation of the Plunger and set the
bracket aside. Place the template over the marked
location. Make sure the orientation of the template
matches the intended orientation of the bracket and
the marked location of the 4 mounting holes.
e.
Double check the alignment and then use a Drill with
a 9/64" drill bit to drill the 4 mounting holes on the
marked location. Then remove the template.
NOTICE:
Drill the holes for the screws completely
through to prevent splitting the boat deck.
