Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Clean the hull or deck surface thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Apply Sealant: Use a high-quality silicone sealant on the area where the deck plate will be mounted to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Lubricate Threads: Apply Vaseline or Teflon grease to the threads of the deck plate to facilitate smooth installation and prevent corrosion.
4. Secure the Deck Plate: Install the deck plate using six #8 FH fasteners (not included), ensuring that each fastener is evenly tightened using the quarter-turn locking system.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Rinse the deck plate with fresh water after each use to remove salt, grime, and other contaminants.
• Inspect for Wear: Periodically check the locking mechanism and internal collar for any signs of wear or damage.
• Thread Care: Keep the threads clean by washing with hot, soapy water and lubricating as needed to maintain smooth operation.
• Protect from Solvents: Avoid contact with acetone or strong solvents, as they can degrade the ABS material.
