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.
