e. Measure the proper length of the Aluminum Rod by
standing it, with the threaded end down, onto the
deck surface so that it sits vertically right next to the
Stabilizer Bracket.
f. Mark the Aluminum Rod with a pencil or marker 3/4"
past the top of the Stabilizer Bracket.
CAUTION
Cutting the Aluminum Rod too short will cause inadequate
support of the mount. Lack of mount support may cause
damage.
g. Cut the Aluminum Rod with a Hack Saw at the
mark. Round the cut edge of the rod with a file or
sandpaper to remove any sharp edges.

h. Replace the Bottom Bumper on the Aluminum Rod,
opposite from the threads.
i. Thread the Aluminum Rod into the Stabilizer Bracket
with the Bottom Bumper towards the boat deck.
j. Adjust the Aluminum Rod up or down in the
Stabilizer Bracket so that the Bottom Bumper just
touches the support surface.
CAUTION
Adjusting the Aluminum Rod too tightly removes the end
play needed for proper latch pin engagement and doing so
could prevent the mount from fully latching in the stowed
position. Improper latching may cause damage. If installed
correctly, the tip of the Aluminum Rod should lift off of the
boat deck about 1/4" without the mount unlatching.
