Installation
Before you start
the installation, make sure that you have 2 to 3 inches of skeg remaining.
Prepare the skeg
of the lower unit by filing or sanding any rough or jagged edges that may exist.
Remove the
hardware from the SKEGGARD. Install onto your new or damaged skeg. Tap in place
with a mallet or block of wood. DO NOT FORCE !!!
Using the
predrilled holes on the SKEGGARD as guides, drill through your skeg using a
1/4" drill bit.
Install the
hardware through the SKEGGARD only finger tight. The hardware must tighten
against the sides of the SKEGGARD. If this does not happen, you need to
reorganize the hardware to achieve the correct length.
The mounting
bolts that are included with SKEGGARD are tamper proof type of hardware,
designed to shear in the event of a severe impact. Different lengths can be
achieved by taking the hardware apart and mixing the stud and post.
Remove the
hardware and apply the LOCTITE supplied. To do this, shake well before use. Make
sure threads are clean. To open tube, snap tube neck below end cap. Apply
LOCTITE to threaded areas, assemble hardware and tighten securely. You must wait
24 hours before use to allow LOCTITE to fully cure. Failure to do so may result
in loss of product.
The SKEGGARD is
warranted against defects in workmanship. Manufacturer will repair or replace
upon return of the defective unit.
