7-4 Gimbal Installation

1.

Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole positions
onto the mounting surface.

2.

If you can’t reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping screws instead
of the fl at screws shown in the picture. If you’re drilling into fi berglass, use a drill bit smaller than 3/16”
(5mm) to drill the pilot holes.

Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16” (5mm) drill bit. Drill completely through
the mounting surface.

3.

Use a Philips screwdriver and the set of four fl at screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts to attach
the mounting gimbal to the location site.
