MOUNT ASSEMBLY

NOTE: LP T-Track Mounts are lower profile than Standard
Mounts, which may require flipping the River Quiver
upside down to avoid the Reel Box hitting the roof of your
vehicle. If flipping is required, you can remove and reapply
the Riversmith dome tag located on the reel box so it
reads right side up. In Step 3 ensure River Quiver stickers
on front half of the extrusions read right side up.

QUIVER HALVES UNTIL STEP 3
STEP 1
1Measure from center of front crossbar to estimated
location of the River Quiver reel box. Generally it is
best to spread vehicle crossbars as far as possible.
• If 65” or less both Quick Release Mounts will go
on the reel box side of the coupler.
• If more than 65” one Quick Release Mount
will go on each half of the river quiver. This
installation is preferred when possible.

NOTE: Quick Release Mounts are lower-profile than
Standard Mounts and may require flipping the River Quiver
upside down to avoid the Reel Box hitting the roof of your
vehicle.
