Fitting Instructions
THE BIGVEE™ FITS IN PLACE OF YOUR OLD BOW STOPPER. REMOVE THE OLD BOW STOPPER.
It is easiest if you move the boat back on the trailer in a short distance.
FIT THE BIGVEE™ IN PLACE WITH THE HARDENDED M12(1/2 in) BOLD AND THE SHIMS WE SUPPLIED.
INSTALLATION
Make sure the BIGVEE ™ brand is faces up, leaving the smooth polyurethane surface facing downward to cushion your bow eye when your boat is fully forward.
You can shorten the bolts now if they are too long. Or wait and shorten them when fitting is complete.

MOVE THE BOAT TO ITS FULLY FORWARD POSITION. ROTATE THE BIGVEE ™ IF NEEDED, SO THAT IT SITS FLAT AGAINST THE BOW. TIGHTEN THE CENTRAL SECURING BOLT.
Be sure to place the shims correctly now as you tighten the bolt. Sitting the secondary bolt partially in place can sometimes assist in aligning the shims.
DRILL A 8MM (5/16TH) HOLE IN THE UPRIGHT METAL BOW STOP SUPPORT ARM AND FIT THE SMALL SECONDARY LOCKING BOLT.
CRITICAL NOTE: Drilling this hole accurately is the one crucial job when fitting a BIGVEE ™. Take your time and be precise with the location of the hole as you drill.
Just one of the four pre-drilled holes in the flange is used as your securing bolt hole. Choose the hole that is nearest to centre on your trailer’s metal bow stop support arm.
Install the small locking bolt from the inside so the nut and washers are on the outside.

SHORTEN EXCESS LENGTH FROM BOTH BOLTS NOW IF NECESSARY. REMOVAL ALL SHARP EDGES CREATED DURING CUTTING. PAINT OVER BARE METAL ON THE BOLT ENDS WITH CORROSION-RESISTANT PAINT.
