IF YOU HAVE A WELDED WINCH STAND, Just install the clamp with an empty trailer and this below will NOT APPLY. If you DO have an adjustable stand, make Sure The Height Is Adjusted Correctly

PLEASE REFERENCE THE PHOTOS ABOVE. The pitch of the clamp will tell you everything you need to know about adjusting the height of the winch stand. PHOTO 1 When sitting on level land if the clamp is locked in and sits parallel to the bow. It Is at the correct height. PHOTO 2 You will notice a Gap between the bow and the polyurethane at the bottom. This means the height is probably too low, Unless there is allot of pressure on the eye of the boat pulling down, then the weight of the boat is on the clamp and is is too high. PHOTO 3. If there is a gap between the bow of the boat and the poly at the TOP, Then this means you must raise your winch stand Up. The clamp is set too low.

1. Remove Boat From Trailer OR…
   1. Roller Trailer: You can push the boat back on the trailer to access the roller. (Leave safety chain on)
   2. Bunk Trailer: You can slide the winch post forward (toward the truck) to access the roller. (Do NOT jack the boat up.)

2. Remove the front bow stop or boat trailer roller from the trailer.

3. Install roller on front bracket. (some units may have this already installed)

4. Install boat latch on mounting bracket of the winch stand.

1. Use either hole to mount the latch.
2. Do not tighten yet.

Tighten bolt “snug” so the latch can pivot. 20 – 24ft lbs recommended. DO not over tighten and do not leave sloppy loose. Crank in or slowly drive into the latch to lock.
