3. Drill the mounting holes with a 7 mm (1/4 in.) diameter drill bit.
Remove any debris.
IMPORTANT: Use a larger drill bit to countersink the holes on
fiberglass boats to prevent cracking.

boat mounting surface. Install the steel washers and nylon locking
nuts onto the mounting screws underneath the boat deck. Tighten
securely with a Phillips screwdriver and 11 mm (7/16 in.) wrench.
