Winch Assembly:
Refer to page 8 for winch parts diagram.
The winch post assembly comes factory assembled and ready to
mount on the tongue. Position the winch assembly on the tongue in
a location that would best fit your watercraft. Using two (2) 1/2” X 3
9/16” X 5” stainless steel square u-bolts, secure the winch assem-
bly to the tongue. Tighten with four (4) 1/2” stainless steel lock nuts
so that the winch assembly will not slide on tongue. Set the other
mounting plate in position and secure it using two (2) 1/2” X 3 9/16”
X 5” stainless steel square u-bolts and four (4) 1/2” stainless steel
lock nuts. Refer to winch adjustments on page 16.
