Club Wave Installation instructions

Jib Cleat mounting plate

Due to the different trampoline arrangement on the Club Wave, there are a few differences in the installation of the jib cleat mounting plate. The difference is that the trampoline is mounted in a track on the Club and the "tramp mounting hook" found on the standard Wave is not attached to the hull.

The mounting plate will be installed behind/underneath the trampoline track. This will require loosening a number of the tramp track mounting screws to allow the plate to be inserted under the track. The plate will be attached to the location as noted in the diagram below. You will use the lower two of the four holes in the plate to place the swivel cleat above the tramp track level.

Notes: The access holes are not drilled through the tracks on boats built prior to May 15th '96. Refer to drilling information below in that case.

Instructions:

1)Loosen tramp track screws 6 through 13 approximately 6 turns each (do not remove the screws as there is a plate on the inside of the hull that may become misaligned).

2)Insert the mounting plate behind the tramp track.

3)Remove and or Install the plate mounting screws (2) and tighten.

4)Re-tighten the trampoline track screws.
