boat, this would be at the toe end of the stretcher (not heel end). Check the stretcher and Angle Wedge drill holes are lined up. If not, check they are placed on the correct side with the logo face down. Proceed to Step 3.

3.

Place the left and right Drive QRS Foot Plates as shown while checking the drill holes line up with the foot stretcher and Angle Wedges (if installed). (Image 4).

Take one M5 countersunk screw and place it through the back of the foot stretcher, Angle Wedge (if installed) and into the Foot Plate. If you have installed the Angle Wedge, keep in mind the different length screws required for the toe and heel ends of the stretcher. This is to accommodate the wedge thickness. Depending on the kit provided, you will need to install either the 10, 11mm or 12.5mm counter sunk screw (Image 3) from the base side of the foot stretcher. Fit one M5 nut and screw the bolt into the Foot Plate and tighten to a maximum torque of 5nM (Image 5). Once tight, check the bolt threads do not protrude beyond the end of the nut.

Repeat this process for the remaining holes while remembering the correct length bolt - guided by Angle Wedge installation.
