400 ft.-lbs. of pressure and then swing up to the water surface.
One replacement Nylon Bolt and Nut are included.
ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
Please read the instructions completely before starting assembly.
Hardware Required
Note: The following parts are not included due to the variety
of possible installations.
(4) 5/16 - 18 Stainless Steel Bolts, of suitable length
Note: Bolts should be at least 3/4" longer than transom
and backing plate thickness.
(4) Stainless Steel Locknuts
(4) Stainless Steel Washers
Marine Adhesive/Sealant and Anti-Seize Compound
Backing Plate of suitable material, minimum size 5"x6"
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Choose the most suitable side of transom for mounting
ladder.
2. Locate a place on the transom where the ladder will mount
and not interfere with the turning and lowering operation
of your motor. Determine the actual water line when the
boat is at rest. Mark this location in both the horizontal and
vertical direction.
3. Locate the ladder on this mark and slide it up to the desired
mounting height. Keep in mind that it is optimal to have at
least two steps in the water for ease of boarding. Mark the
ladder’s position at the top mounting bolt.
NOTE: This line will locate the top two holes for the
mounting plate.
4. Check the inside of the transom where the mounting is
proposed. Verify that there is ample space to install a
backing plate (minimum size 5" x 6") that will support the
ladder installation. A 5" x 6" minimum flat area or the size
of your backing plate is required for a secure installation.
The backing plate should be made of either aluminum,
marine plywood, or some other suitable non-compressive
material.
