Secure with 2 locknuts.; Mount SS strut 22" by inserting bolt through hole and secure with locknut.; Mount SS strut 11" by inserting two bolts through holes and secure with 1 locknut.; Choose most suitable side of transom for mounting platform. Turn motor unit as far as possible to that side. Make a line on the transom indicating motor unit's full extension to that side.; Position platform away from drawn line at desired mounting location, parallel to the water line, and mark 4 mounting holes through flattened ends of rails and/or struts onto the transom.; Drill four marked holes with a bit compatible with selected fasteners (fasteners not provided). Hold drill perpendicular to transom when drilling.; If transom is less than 2" thick, it is recommended that a backing plate be mounted on the inside of transom. NOTE: The backing plate should be made of either aluminum, marine plywood or some other suitable non-compressive material.; ; Coat the mounting surfaces of the rails and/or struts with a marine grade adhesive/caulking compound; squeeze a small amount into mounting holes in transom. Insert selected bolts through holes and secure in position with suitable fasteners.; Maintenance: Periodically check mounting hardware and re-tighten (due to normal boat operation).; Regular fresh water rinsing and periodic cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner will help retain luster and help prevent corrosion.; Information sourced from Garelick Assembly Instructions for Platforms Technical Data Installation InstructionsRetaining Strap Installation Instructions
