Determine the actual waterline when the boat is at rest. Mark this location in both the horizontal and vertical direction.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLocate the ladder on this mark and slide it up to the desired mounting height. It is optimal to have at least two steps in the water for ease of boarding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMark the ladder’s potion at the top of mounting bolt. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNOTE: This line will locate the top two holes for the mounting plate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck the inside of the transom where the mounting is proposed. Verify that there is ample space to install a backing plate (minimum size 4” x 5 ½”) that will support the ladder installation. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA 4” x 5 ½” minimum flat area or the size of your backing plate is required for a secure installation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNOTE: The backing plate should be made of either aluminum, marine plywood or some other suitable non-compressive material\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMark four mounting plate hole locations on your transom or transom extension bracket using the plate as your template.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. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNOTE: It may be necessary to make an external shim or modify the mounting substrate 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 substrate hole. These holes are perpendicular to the mounting face plate, not the transom. When drilling, this hole angle should be used to insure a proper installation. Place the mounting substrate and faceplate against the boat and loosely mount it with the hardware that you have selected for proper installation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLoosen the mounting faceplate enough to install roll pin into the mounting substrate. Place the locking bar into the substrate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNOTE: The notch in the bar faces down. Slide the locking bar’s operation to insure it slides back and stops.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePut a bead of adhesive caulk around the perimeter of the mounting holes and all edges of the mounting substrate, coat the bolt threads with anti-seize compound and secure the mounting substrate in place by tightening all four mounting bolts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMount securing clips at desired location with selected stainless steel hardware. This will insure that the ladder will not rotate or slide when boat is underway.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo not use when motor is running.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInformation sourced from the Garelick Installation Instructions for Sport\/Diver Ladders Technical Data\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wholesalemarine.com\/content\/PDFs\/GAR-19833.1.pdf\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"pdficon.png\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-6rtev5owwo\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/pdficon.png\" alt=\"pdficon.png\" width=\"45\" height=\"43\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Garelick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605329805627,"sku":"GAR-19834","price":682.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/4271\/8779\/files\/392895_source_1756135753.jpg?v=1790706663","url":"https:\/\/clinchriverfishingusa.com\/products\/garelick-ss-4-step-spt-diver-ladder-gar-19834","provider":"Clinch River Fishing USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
