  8. Assembly of the Sea Suckers will require the removal of the four phillips head screws on the Bottom of the Sea Sucker to install two 18-8 Stainless Steel Square-neck Carriage Bolts, 1/4-20 x 1.25 long.
  9. Tech Tip: Use the two Fender Washers and Wing nuts to hold the bolts in place and glue the Stainless Steel Square-neck Carriage bolt in place please allow to dry. Then assemble the Sea Sucker back together.
  10. The Sea Suckers can be placed anywhere on the Locating Tool Sliding Bridge Plate as need be to adhere to the Bottom of the boat to accommodate for strakes and chines in the hull of the boat.

            Note: Sea Suckers will not adhere to a Hull that has bottom paint.

            Note: Tool can be used without the Sea Sucker by holding tight to the Hull by hand.

            Note: Locating Tool will need approximately 8-10 inches in depth on the bottom of the Hull for clearance. If the boat is on a trailer, the bunks of the trailer may interfere with tool placement. If possible, slide the boat back on the trailer to accommodate. 

ATTENTION: DO NOT TRAILER BOAT WITH IT IN THIS POSITION.
