  • Page 13: Assembly

    4. Assembly Before permanently installing the track on deck, we recommend that you do a temporary assembly to make sure that the deck mounts, track and car do not interfere with any other deck fittings or structures above or below deck. Parts of the assembly need to occur whilst on the deck of the boat. For actions such as sawing or grinding, it is recommended this is done away from the boat in a suitable work space.
  • Page 14 Install joint bracket 442-201 to both sides of the track with the screws, washers and rubber end stop. Use locking adhesive on the screws. It is important that both washers are used in the assembly, one on the outside and one on the inside of the profile as shown.
  • Page 15 Deck fitting Deck fitting 442-206-10 Screw the end fitting 442-207 onto the ends of all four treaded bars. Assemble the complete deck fitting kit as shown. Place the system on deck with the deck fittings attached and adjust the threaded bars to Foot kit correct length.

    5. Installation To simplify the final installation, disassemble the centre console and side bracket from the track. Leave both joint brackets (442-201) assembled on the track. 5.1 Step by step installation instructions Install the centre bracket to the deck at the marked position.
  • Page 17 Deck fitting Deck fitting 443-206-10 Install the deck fittings at the marked positions on Foot kit deck. Make sure the deck fitting 443-206 is at the correct angle to fit the side console when assembled to the track. Use 4xM6 countersunk screws for each fitting.
  • Page 18: Service And Maintenance

    6. Service and maintenance 6.1 Frequent maintenance Cleaning Rinse the self-tacking system with fresh water regularly to get rid of salt and dirt. A mild detergent can be used to help get dirt off. Pay extra attention to the ball bearings inside the car. Rinse the car thoroughly with fresh water while moving it back and forth on the track.

    7. Options 7.1 Sheet crane and exit box For boats fitted with vertical pole storage (VPS) and for boats where a “up the mast” routing of the sheet would need a relocation of the deck and steaming light. The sheet crane creates the separation you need between the mast and sheet to facilitate VPS, navigation and deck lights.
