5. Mark four mounting plate hole locations on your transom
or transom extension bracket using the plate as your
template.
NOTE: It may be necessary to make an external shim to
achieve the proper ascent angle (5 to 10 degrees)
for your ladder. Drill one 11/32" or 3/8" hole
through your transom, noting the angle of the
mounting bracket or mounting substrate hole angle.
These holes are perpendicular to the mounting face
plate, not the transom. When drilling this hole
should be used to insure a proper installation. Place
the mounting substrate and/or the outside bracket
against the boat and loosely mount it with the
hardware that you have selected for proper
installation.
6.Level the bracket, mark and drill the next hole. Check the
ladder for level, make adjustments if necessary and then drill
the other two holes.
7. Put a bead of caulk around the perimeter of the four
mounting holes. Coat your selected 5/16 18 SIS mounting
bolts with anti-seize compound and secure outside
mounting bracket with or without external shim to transom
with four selected washers and locknuts.
Refer to Fig. 1.
