WARNING
WALL SUPPORT MUST BE SCREWED TO STUDS OR CONCRETE WALL.
Mounting to the Wall
Your Docking Station or Boone Dock must be fastened to wall studs or a masonry wall (i.e.
concrete or cinder block). Screws are provided for the purpose of mounting to a wood framed wall.
Before mounting to the wall make sure you have plenty of distance from doorways and other walls for
all your anticipated gear storage (i.e. racks, bicycles, kayaks, etc.)
1. Locate two studs at the desired mounting location.
2. The Docking Station is designed to recline against the wall at a slight angle. Distance from the wall to
the rear of the Floor Support (E) should be approximately 9 3/8”.
3. Align one set of holes in the Wall Mount (D) with one of the previously located studs. Hole patterns in
the Wall Support (D) are for 16” and 18” stud centers. It should be 16”, but the 18” pattern allows for
any hiccups in the framing.
4. Drive two No. 10 x 3” screws (O) into each stud.
Dock Block Installation
The Docking Station allows the Dock Blocks to be assembled to any of the (6) 5/8” diameter holes in
the Top Center Tube and Bottom Center Tube. Hole locations used will vary depending on the gear
being stored and customer preference. We recommend installing the Dock Blocks after the Docking
Station or Boone Dock main assembly is mounted to the wall.
1. Insert one C-Clip (P) into one of the grooves of the Locating Pin (J).
2. Insert a Dock Block (F) onto either the Top Center Tube (A) or Bottom Center Tube (B). The round
tube should rest against the top surface of one of the center tubes.
3. Align the 5/8” diameter hole in a Dock Block (F) with the desired 5/8” diameter mounting hole in either
the Top Center Tube (A) or Bottom Center Tube (B).
4. Insert a Locating Pin (G) through the aligned holes until the previously installed C-Clip (M) contacts the
Dock Block (F).
5. Insert one C-Clip (M) into the remaining groove of the Locating Pin (G).
6. Insert Bridge Pins (N) into the through holes of the Locating Pin (G). The Bridge Pins (N) will keep gear
from sliding of the Locating Pin (G).
7. Repeat Steps 1-6 for other Dock Block(s).
Mounting Your Gear
o Use the Strap Brackets to hang bungee cords, nylon straps or anything with a hook. Smaller
trailer balls with a ¾” threaded shank can be stored on the Strap Brackets by inserting the
threaded shank through one of the holes and threading the nut on the back side.
o Bike Racks and Tailgate Tables are easily stored by slipping the hole for the hitch pin onto a
Docking Station Locating Pin and allowing the square tube of the rack to rest on top of the
Dock Block round tube. Secure your gear to the Docking Station by inserting a Bridge Pin
into the through hole in the Locating Pin.
o Your hitch-mounted Bike Rack can be used as a garage bike rack when stored on the
Docking Station.
o A Cargo Carrier can be used as shelving units by storing it in a horizontal position similar to
the manner Bike Racks are stored.
