INITIAL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS - This has to be done only once.
1)
(First remove optional Bow Cap if installed)
If plug is still in deck, remove the plug from
the underside rear of the deck by popping it out with a rubber
mallet or hammer so you can install the pedestal
base and centerstability tube there.
2)
To place the Pedestal base on the deck, insert the centerstability
tube attached to the underside of the center of the base into
the pre-drilled hole in the deck. Align the outer holes of the
base and insert the six provided bolts from underneath the the
deck through the holes in base. Attach the provided wing nuts
to the bolts and tighten securely.
3)
After
tightening all wing nuts on base, PRESS ON BUTTON on pedestal
and install pedestal and twist clockwise until it locks in. To
remove, no need to press button, again. Just pull up.
4)
Attach the seat rotator to the bottom of the seat using the 4
bolts supplied. (DO NOT USE WINGNUTS IF INCLUDED) .
Tighten down this hardware. You will only need to do this once.
5)
Now, insert the seat
with the seat rotator attached onto
the pedestal and tighten. If your seat has the locking handle,
disregard. This has been replaced by the failsafe friction control
knob to lock the seat in place.
7)
Install each Fishing
Rod Holder on each side of the seat in the pre-drilled hole. Tighten
the wingnut under the hole in the deck.
7)
To
install the Bow Trolling Mount, just insert using the attached
bolts into the special holes at the the front of the deck. Slide
forward and tighten the wing nuts

To install the deck onto the Bote hull, remove the seat and
pedestal from the deck first. Then
place the front deck support holder over the top (gunwale) tubing
at the front of the boat opposite you, as shown.

9)
Then, pull out the side of the hull nearest you (if necessary)
and push down the front deck support holder nearest you. Then
push down the rear of the deck so it touches the front seat.
10)
Now, with the deck firmly located, use the predrilled hole on
each side of the deck as a guide. Drill a hole through each side
of the hull and insert a bolt (screw) and washer and wingnut,
supplied.cYou can cut away a small piece of the foam.
