PARTS LIST
Before starting the actual install, confirm you have all parts listed below:
(1) Front Rail Hinge Bracket
(1) Mounting Plate
(1) Rear Rail Retainer Bracket
(12) No. 12 x 3/4" Sheet Metal Screws
(4) No. 14 x 3/4" Sheet Metal Screws (Hex-head)
(4) 1/4" x 20 x 1/2" Machine Screws
(4) 1/4" Locking Nuts
HOW TO INSTALL THE HINGE BRACKET:
1. Position the front rail hinge bracket in the desired place along the front edge
of the metal boat seat surface. Use a pen or pencil to mark the location of the
screw holes along the top of the bracket (4 hole) and the front of the bracket (6
holes). Remove the hinge bracket and drill pilot holes at each mark using the
5/32" metal bit.
2. Replace the hinge bracket and use a 3/8" Hex driver to install the (4) No. 14
x 3/4" screws along the top of the bracket. Use a Phillips head screw driver to
install (6) No. 12 x 3/4" screws along the front of the bracket.
HOW TO INSTALL THE MOUNT PLATE:
3. Rotate seat swivel so that mounting holes for the open swivel plate are clear
of the swivel plate already installed to the boat seat. Align the slots on the Sure
Mount mounting plate to the slots of the seat's swivel plate. Make sure that
the "C-hook" on the mounting plate is facing the front edge of your boat seat's
bottom cushion and that the open part of the "C-hook" is pointing toward the
bottom of the boat seat.
4. Hold a 1/4" lock nut under
an open slot on the seat swivel
and insert a 1/4" x 20 x 1/2"
screw through the open slot of
the mounting plate to attach.
Hand tighten and repeat until
all 4 screws/nuts are connected.
Grip each locking nut with
pliers or a crescent wrench
and drive use the Phillips head
screwdriver to complete the
fastening of the screw. Repeat
until all screws and nuts are
fully tightened.

TOOLS REQUIRED
To install the 8WD73 on a metal boat seat, we recommend the following tools:
• Electric Drill
• 5/32" Drill Bit for Metal
• Phillips Head Screw Driver
• 3/8" Hex Driver or Bit
• Pliers or Crescent Wrench
• Felt-tip Pen or Soft Lead Pencil
HOW TO CONNECT MOUNTING PLATE TO FRONT
RAIL HINGE BRACKET:
5. Take notice that the both the
mounting plate and the hinge
bracket have a "C-hook" design.
To connect the bracket to the
hinge, first make sure that the
front of the bracket is forward
facing by rotating the seat
swivel. Hold the boat seat in
a vertical postition so that the
"C-hook" of the mounting plate
can be received by the "C-hook"
of the hinge bracket. Once in
place, lower the back side of
the seat so it can rotate into its
locked position.
To remove the boat seat for storage, simply lift the back of the boat seat and pull
forward until the "C-hook" rotates into its open release position.
HOW TO INSTALL THE RETAINER BRACKET:
6. The purpose of the rear rail retainer bracket is to prevent the boat seat from
pivoting forward unexpectedly. We recommend that you install the retainer
bracket and keep it in place whenever the boat is in motion.
7. To install the retainer bracket, slide the mounted boat seat to the center
position of the front rail. Place the retainer bracket (with raised edge facing
upward and toward the front rail bracket) over the back edge of the mounting
plate so that it sits flush on the metal boat seat surface. Line up the rear rail so
that the outer edges line up with the front rail bracket from left to right.
8. Using a pen or pencil, mark the locations of 4 visible screw holes. (6 holes total)
NOTE: To access the 2 innermost screw holes, you have to slide the seat to the
end of one side to mark that location and then to the other side to mark the other
location.
9. Remove the retainer bracket and drill pilot holes at each mark using the 5/32"
metal bit.
10. Replace the retainer bracket and use a Phillips head screw driver to install (6)
No. 12 x 3/4" screws.
11. Now that the retainer bracket is mounted, the installation of the Wise Sure
Mount Seat Bracket System is complete and is ready for use.
NOTE: To ensure a smooth back and forth motion of the mounting bracket, you
should periodically lubricate the bracket with petroleum jelly.
