*Locate the davit in the boat from stern to midway forward.
*Locate the deck and gunnel mounts so the davit will slip vertically through the gunnel mount into the deck mount. NOTE: The gunnel and deck mounts for a schedule 40 davit must be mounted at least 21" apart. For schedule 80 davit 12".T hrough bolting the  mounts is recommended     using four   1/4" or 5/16" bolts per  mount.   We also recommend using Sikaflex bedding      compound. You may also install an additional backing plate for reinforcement and added       support.
*Install the davit into the gunnel and deck mounts and position the davit with arm extended out in operating position.
*Hold davit in operating position and locate pre-drilled holes in the gunnel mount. Drill a 3/8" hole through one side of the davit pipe. Install davit locking pin through the hole approximately 3/4".
*Drill 3/8" hole on opposite side of davit pipe through the pre-drilled hole in gunnel mount, taking           care to drill no more than 1" deep.
*Remove davit locking pin from other hole in gunnel mount.
*Drill through complete gunnel mount. (Only one hole may be drilled through the davit at the           gunnel mount.)
*Install removable locking pin through the gunnel mount and pipe. This holds the davit in the     operating position.
*Remove locking pin from gunnel mount and rotate davit 180 degrees.
*Locate pre-drilled holes in the deck  mount.
*Drill a 3/8" hole through one side of the davit pipe through the pre-drilled hole in deck mount.
*Install davit locking pin through the hole approximately 3/4".
*Drill 3/8" hole on opposite side of the davit pipe through the pre-drilled hole in the deck mount taking care to drill no more than 1" deep.
*Remove locking pin from other hole in deck mount.
*Drill through complete deck mount.
*Install removable locking pin through deck mount and davit pipe. This positions the davit inside the boat for storage.
