Fixed-Bail Mounting the Device

NOTICE

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.

  1. If you do not want to use the included wood screws to secure the bail-mount bracket, select the mounting hardware appropriate for the bail-mount bracket and your mounting surface.
    NOTICE

    Only pan-head machine bolts or self-tapping screws should be used to secure the swivel base. If you use screws with countersunk heads, you may damage the mounting bracket.

  2. Using the bail-mount bracket as a template Callout number 1, mark the pilot holes through the screw holes.
