Step 5:
Once the frame and ladder positions have been re-confirmed, hold the frame and
ladder securely in place and drill ½” holes through the floor using the
frame and ladder as a template. Note: Always use sharp drill bits.
Step 6:
Remove the assembled diving board and
position the mount plates so the rivet
nut is centered in the ½” holes.
Step 7:
Using the mount plates as a template,
drill a 3/16” pilot hole centered in each of the 6mm threaded holes.
Step 8:
Remove the plates and enlarge
the holes to 5/16”.
Step 9:
Secure the Under Floor Mount Plates to the underside of the floor.
1) For installations on boats without under floor skin’s:
a. Position each plate on the underside of the floor with the rivet
nut pointing down.
b. Thread the eye bolts through the floor and into the plates, tightening enough to pull the plate snug to
the bottom of the floor.
c. Align and install the 6mm screws using a #3 screw driver. Be sure to pull the head into the flooring
material so as to not protrude above the surface. Insure the plate is tight to the bottom of the floor with
no air gaps.
2) For installations on boats with under floor skins:
a. Note the distance from one of the ½ inch holes in the floor to the outer edge of the rub rail using an
aluminum yard stick.
b. With a 5/8 hole in the end of your aluminum yard stick,
place an Under Floor Mount Plate on the yard stick
with the rivet nut down through the hole in the yard
stick and slide it under the floor back to the noted
measurement.
c. With the rivet nut aligned with the ½ inch hole in the
floor, thread an eye bolt into the rivet nut and tighten
the eye bolt until the plate is close to the bottom of
the floor.
d. Using a scratch awl, drill bit or nail, align the 6mm
threaded hole with the 5/16” hole.
e. Tighten the eye bolt so the plate is tight with the bottom of the floor.
f. Install the 6mm screws using a #3 screw driver. Be sure to pull the head into the flooring material so as
to not protrude above the surface.
Your mounting hardware is fully installed. You can now install your diving board as instructed in the Daily Assembly section of
the manual. Take note to Step 6.
