RB BUNK KIT ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE SS1165
The bunk attaches to the equal load arm as follows:
Locate the bunk support tube (Item No. 7). Set the
bunk support tube upright as shown in the Diagram.
Position a bunk support pivot on each end of the bunk
support tube while aligning the holes of the two parts.
The bunk assemblies are shipped with the 1/2” x 3-1/2” x
1-1/2” U-bolts (Item No. 1) assembled inside the galvanized
bunk bracket (Item No. 9). Position the legs of the U-bolts
in the bunk assembly downward and align with the holes
in the bunk support pivots and bunk support tube. Drop the
bunk assembly into position. Place a spacer bushing on one
of the U-bolts legs. Secure by using a 1/2” flat washer and
flange lock nut. Repeat this process on the other leg of the
U-bolt and then the other U-bolt. Tighten the nuts on the
U-bolts until secure but do not over tighten. The bunk
assembly must be allowed to rotate in the bunk support pivot
so it can conform to the boat bottom for full support on the
boat.
Place the completed assembly on the rear pivot of the trailer
as shown in the Diagram. Locate two of the 1/2” x 3-9/16” x
3-7/8” U-bolts. Place the legs of the U-bolt up along the front
and rear of the rear pivot arm. Insert into the holes provided
in the RB support tube mounting plate. Secure with 1/2”
flange lock nuts.
Repeat the above process on the other RB bunk assembly.
ADJUSTMENT
Position the RB bunk assemblies so they are far enough
apart to give your boat stability while transporting. When the
desired width is achieved, move the RB bunk assemblies
so that they are just to the outside of a strake. The RB bunk
assemblies need to be adjusted so that you have a
minimum of one to two inches of clearance between the
keel of the boat and the center cross member pads. This
will help center the boat when loading and unloading. The
clearance can be obtained by moving the RB bunk as-
semblies closer together raising the boat. Rare occasions
may require the use of risers on top of the rear pivot.
When the desired position is determined, tighten only
enough to hold the bunks from moving while the other
adjustments are being made. Once all final adjustments are
made, tighten to secure in its set location.
Assembly and adjustments are complete.
