WINCH POST ASSEMBLY
The height that the bow eye is placed in your boat will
determine the length winch post required. Once this is
determined, attach the winch base to the tongue with
three 1/2” x 4-1/2” carriage bolts and lock nuts.
Align the holes in the Profile 2000 mounting channel
with the holes in the top of the winch base. Attach the
front of the winch head mounting channel to the base
by placing a 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex bolt through the hole
closest to the front of the winch base. Secure with a
lock nut. Do not tighten.
Note that the winch head can now be rotated either up
or down. Identify the correct hole combination to use to
position the bow eye roller just above the bow eye of
your boat. When determined, secure in this position by
placing the bushing as shown in Diagram C inside the
winch base so it aligns with the hole just identified for
the proper adjustment. Insert another 1/2” x 4-1/2” hex
bolt through the determined mounting hole in the
mounting channel and winch base making sure the bolt
passes through the bushing as well. Secure with a 1/2”
lock nut. Tighten all bolts.
Plug the tongue wire harness ends into the frame har-
nesses by matching colors and ends. Pushes the
extra wire provided into the rear of the tongue or
remove the grommet in the side frame and place the
extra wire in the side frame. Replace grommet just re-
moved.
WHITE GROUND WIRE INSTALLATION
Place the self-tapping screw provided through the
round metal ring on the white ground wire of the
tongue harness located at the rear of the tongue. At-
tach the ground wire to the main frame by driving the
screw in the hole provided next to the tongue channel
of the frame. This will assure a positive ground for the
lighting.
SAFETY CHAINS
Locate the 1/2” x 1-1/4” hex bolt. Slip the bolt through
a 1/2” at washer, then place through the last link of
one of the safety chains. Place a second flat washer
on the bolt and insert through the hole as shown in
Diagram B. Secure with a 1/2” .flange lock nut.
Tighten. Repeat this process on the second safety
chain on the opposite side of the tongue.
Assembly is complete.
