MOUNTING THE BRACKET
(1) Remove the bracket bolts from the top
bracket from the tubbie.
(2) Hold the bottom bracket up tothe
mounting surface. Place the top bracket over the
wakeboard tower surface and install the mounting
bolts.
(3) Tighten the bracket bolts as needed to secure the
tubbie bracket on the wakeboard tower.
(4) Once the tubbie has been positioned and secured at the needed position, install the
back-up safety cable around the wakeboard tower. (Fig 1)
Note: Use the supplied hardware to secure the bracket to the mounting surface.
DB Research L.L.P. highly recommends that a certified installation technician installation of tubbie enclosure.If
you choose to perform the installation yourself, it is absolutely necessary that the tubbie be properly mounted in
a well thought out manner. Failure to mount the tubbie properly could present two issues: 1) The
tubbies reliability and performance will suffer due to the movement of the tubbie caused by vibration
on the craft.
2) A unproperly mounted enclosure presents a serious safety hazard especially in rough conditions
where loose mounting bolts could cause the mount to fail.
