FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES FOR USING AND LOCATING THE PONTOON BUNKS (FIGURE 2.5A & 2.5B).
-THE WIDTH OF THE BUNKS SHOULD BE 1-2 INCHES LESS THAN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE
PONTOONS.
-TO SET BUNK HEIGHT, MEASURE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PONTOON DECK TO THE BOTTOM OF
THE PONTOON, THEN ADD 1” TO THAT MEASUREMENT.
-THE REAR OF A 21 FOOT PONTOON BOAT SHOULD OVERHANG PAST THE LIFT BY 3 FEET. FOR EVERY
ADDITIONAL FOOT IN LENGTH OF THE BOAT, IT SHOULD OVERHANG BY AN ADDITIONAL 6 INCHES
BEYOND THE REAR OF THE LIFT.
THESE ARE THE GENERAL GUIDELINES THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL’S
CIRCUMSTANCES.
ONCE FINAL POSITION IS SET, TORQUE 3/8” NUTS ON CLAMPS TO 35 FT-LBS (FIGURE 2.6).
NOTE:
UPRIGHTS MAY HAVE TO BE CUT TO
