Side Rail Mounting

Side/Rail mounts can be mounted to a welded T section. They can also be used at the two rail section butt joint. In both installations it is recommended to use a non-slip material, such as rubber or a thin wood sheet, between metal surfaces.

You can also use these for mounting to a very narrow side gunwale. There is a plate provided for back-up with bolts and washers. If the gunwale compartment is foamed in, then wellnuts should be used. It is also recommended to install two additional flat head screws through the top plate for stabilization (you will need to drill and countersink).

NOTE: In no case should this mount be used on fiberglass ¼" thick or less unless it is foamed in.

Pedestal Mounting

Pedestals are used wherever additional height is needed for ease of operation or to clear obstructions, such as handrails.

Caution: When using a pedestal mount or side/rail mount, do not extend the telescopic boom on your Mag 20 DT. The increased leverage will cause excessive strain and possible failure of the mount.
