Did you remove the mount from the forward platform and put it on the rear? Mine came with the mount on the front platform, but really like how you have it.
Called and got mine on order Friday. Parts Dept says they are down to their last few in each color Grey/Tan seadeck. after these are sold they are not planning on having more made since the 21-22 ft redesign. Also ask for Vet/Mil discount if you have served. Saved me 10%. Mine will be here later this week.
Did you get the cushions as well? It’s a great addition to your boat!
got cushions and tablemount... nice to eat dinner on the boat while anchored
Absolutely!
How much are they?
Mine did that too with half of the bolts/nuts. Turns out the issue Metrc bolts and SAE nuts. I ended up having to go purchase new bolts and nuts in order to finish my install since half were to fubar'ed I had to bolts off the bad bolts to get them out. I stil have a bad taste in my mouth with JBP over this issue...
With shipping, Platforms (450), install kit, cushions (450) and table pedestal kit came out to like just over 1400. Not telling HH6 that as she just knew about the platforms for 450 lol. Seeing as how once these in stock ones are gone then no more are available, I see it as a good investment which adds to the resale value of my boat if I ever get rid of it...... Not really in my plans unless we go bigger, as this is my back yard lol.
All stainless will gall. Never use power tools to tighten. Rub threads with candle wax does help.
No mine were definaltly diffrent thread types. SAE and Metric mixed. Once I figured out what was going on I confimed by checking the threads with known thread types.
I would say just some marine grease on the threads, and do not use a power tool to run them down, use hand tools and tighten the fasteners at a sedate speed.
So, it was real fun pulling the front right cup holder out to get my no thumbs hand down under the fiberglass to put the washer and nut on for the front of the mounting bracket and to reach up and put washer on bar one mounting bolt. I followed instructions and taped the nut into the wrench so I wouldn't lose it. measured everything twice and when I tightened the mounting rail to the curvature of the front seating area back left bar moved a smidgen down. If it bothers me I will tape a thin door seal in there to take up the space. Haven't mounted the snaps yet. wondering how secure they are under way. how tight are they when you snap them on? Is there a better method for strapping the platform in (IE the rubber door snaps Yamaha used for all the other hatches)?
With any stainless bolts, you have to lubricate it unless you put it on really slow because of the close tolerance stainless does not dissipate heat. It will lock up and you will break the bolt. Spray lube is fine.
Once you tie the two parts together with Yamahaesque rubber bungee and then attach the straps the whole platform is very stable. The straps are not that tight, haven’t used mine since last year but if memory serves the straps keep it from moving upward, and the small piece sorta locks in to prevent fore / aft movement. It’s very secure underway.
Mounted It last night. Found the Springfield Table 2 3/8 mount by itself from West marine. Will have to run by there later this week. We will definitely be using this while on the water. I got the mount and some of the Amazon EVA foam. Used lubrication on the SS bolts...no issues.
