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.
STEP 2
Remove the tape.
STEP 3
Attempt to drive the #14 screw. If it extremely difficult to run the screw, back the screw out and use the 15/64 drill bit to ream the hole.
STEP 4
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 5
Install deck button using the #14 screw and black nylon washer. Use the drill with phillips driver. A phillips screwdriver by itself may be
difficult to drive the screw. The drill is recommended.
STEP 6
If you used silicone, wash off extra silicone once deck button is fully installed.
STEP 7
Same procedure for other main bow mount.
