holes, and install screws. It may be necessary to shim or modify
the deck or gunwale under the mounting location to create a flat
area for the base to be mounted.
3. The base of the bracket includes a Plunger used to adjust
the Swivel Base of the bracket. The Swivel Base can be locked
into seven positions by pulling out the Plunger and rotating it up
to 180 degrees at 30-degree increments. Plan to mount the
bracket so the Swivel Base may be rotated as desired.
4. The base of the bracket incorporates two pieces: a Removable Base and a Non-removable Base. The Removable Base allows the
bracket to be removed for boat covers, etc. Check for clearance at the selected location to ensure the bracket does not encounter any
obstructions while in use or when it is rotated or folded down. Check for additional obstructions such as a windshield or existing boat
accessories such as lights or cable routing. When the Removable Base is installed for mounting, ensure 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 the installation and select a mounting location. Take
the Bow-mount Stabilizer Bracket (Item #A) and
become familiar with how the bracket operates. After
reviewing the mounting considerations, select a
mounting location.
b. Once a mounting location is selected, separate the
Removable Base from the rest of the bracket by
rotating the Thumb Screw on the Non-removable
Base counterclockwise.
c. Slide the Removable Base away from the
Non-removable Base to separate the pieces.
The Removable and Non-removable Bases
NOTICE:
only fit together in one way. When checking clearances,
make sure to account for the direction the Non-
removable Base will need to move for the bases to be
separated from each other once the Removable Base is
secured to the Boat Deck.

d. Position the Removable Base on the Boat Deck as it is
intended to be used. Take note of the desired direction
of the Thumb Screw and the Plunger when the
stabilizer bracket is fully assembled. The Bow Mount
Stabilizer Bracket can be rotated in any direction
based on personal preference.
e. Double-check that the Swivel Base can be adjusted
and used as desired when checking clearances. Test
the placement of the Rod when the Swivel Base is
moved into various positions.
