Bail Mounting the Device
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.
The bail-mounting hardware (screws and washers, or nuts, washers, and bolts) is not included. The bail mount bracket is included in some models. Before you can bail mount the device, you must purchase a bail mount bracket, if necessary. You must also purchase mounting hardware that fits the holes in the bail mount bracket and securely attaches it to your specific mounting surface. The size of the pilot holes required depends on the mounting hardware you purchase.
