» > Depending on the size of the boat dock purchased, it may come with
an aluminum support beam constructed of heavy marine grade aluminum
and is installed under the dock to help flatten the dock and more evenly
distribute the weight of the boat.

» The support beam can be installed on land or in the water. If installing
in the water you must take great care no to drop any of the bolts, nuts and
washers as they will sink

>» Onthe beam, each end has 2 holes drilled. The heavy galvanized bolt
goes through the hole that is marked “B.” This hole is approx 1 1/2” in
from the end as shown on the left

> Tie a piece of rope through the hole that is marked “R.” We suggest
using 1 long piece, tied to both ends, and long enough to go around the
back row of floats.

» Lower the beam at the stern section and use the rope to position the
beam between the 4" and 5” row of floats from the stern. This may also
be the 3rd and 4th floats—use the position where the double floats
Support Beam—angle pointing down overlap naturally and there is a lug in that position already.

> There are 2 bolts included with your beam - one 12” and one 14”. The
12” bolt goes through the white lug connector that is securing the 1-2 tabs. The 14” bolt is used on the 3-4 tabs. (The 1-
2 tab combination sits lower to the water and therefore requires the shorter bolt)

» With the beam in place on one side, slide the bolt with a washer on the top through the lug and angle it to fit through the
hole in the beam. Put a washer and 2 nuts on the bolt and tighten it loosely. Do the same on the other side and tighten
loosely.

» Depending on your boat, you may find it necessary to move the beam forward or back 1 or more rows of floats to make it
easier to drive the boat off the dock. Moving the beam backward will raise the back end of the dock and the boat slightly
if the boat is “in the water’ at rest. When the Beam is in the proper location, you can slightly adjust the level of the dock
by changing the tightness of the bolts. When you are satisfied with the results make sure the 2 nuts are snug against
each other
