FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES FOR USING AND LOCATING THE PONTOON BUNKS (FIGURE 2.5).
-THE WIDTH OF THE BUNKS SHOULD KEEP THE PONTOONS OFF THE CRADLE BEAMS.
-THE BUNKS SHOULD BE KEPT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE (NOT QUITE TOUCHING THE CLAMP).
-TO PLACE BUNKS, FIND CENTER BETWEEN PONTOONS AND CENTER OF THE BOAT FROM PONTOONS
AND TRANSLATE MEASUREMENT TO CRADLE BEAM TO DETERMINE CENTER OF EACH PAIR OF BUNKS.
LOCATE MIDDLE BUNKS AROUND CENTER OF CRADLE BEAM.
-THE REAR OF A 21’ 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 GENERAL GUIDELINES THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED FOR AN
INDIVIDUAL’S CIRCUMSTANCES.
-ONCE BUNKS ARE IN THEIR FINAL LOCATION, TORQUE 3/8” NUTS ON CRADLE CLAMPS TO 35 FT-LBS
AND 5/8” NUTS ON CRADLE CLAMPS TO 70 FT-LBS (FIGURE 2.5).
