DRILLING HOLES FOR MAIN BOW HARDWARE MOUNT

Once the main bow mounting location has been marked, it is time to drill. Prior to drilling, it will be important to determine your mounting hardware.

It is preferred that you use the 1/4"-20 bolt, nut, and washer to mount the deck button. However, you may not have access to the inside of your

gunnel. If you do not have access, you will use the #14 screw. WARNING - CHECK FOR WIRES, CABLES, HOSES, PRIOR TO DRILLING.

▷ ▷

WHEN USING THE 1/4 - 20 HARDWARE:

STEP 1

Use the drill and the 9/32 drill bit to drill the hole in the marked location on the tape. Drill through the tape. If drilling through fiberglass,

reverse drill until you get through the gel coat, make sure to countersink the hole afterward. This will prevent the gel coat from cracking

when installing the deck buttons.

STEP 2

Remove the tape.

STEP 3

Apply silicone to surface of black washer that will contact the boat. This will help seal the hole so that water cannot penetrate

(recommended, but not required).

STEP 4

Install one (or two stacked) deck buttons and install using the 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" bolt (or 2" bolt), black nylon washer, 1/4"-20 nylock nut and

fender washer. Use the 7/16 open end wrench and the phillips screwdriver or drill with phillips driver.

STEP 5

If you used silicone, wash off extra silicone once deck button is fully installed.

STEP 6

Same procedure for other main bow mount.

STEP 7

Use 1/4" - 20 x 2" if 1½" bolts are too short (recommended to be used when you don't have access to the back mounting area).

WHEN USING THE #14 SCREW:

STEP 1

Start by using the drill and the 7/32 drill bit to drill the hole in the marked location on the tape. Drill through the tape. If drilling through

fiberglass, reverse drill until you get through the gel coat, make sure to countersink the hole afterward. This will prevent the gel coat from

cracking when installing the deck buttons.
