INSTALLATION  INSTRUCTIONS

FOR

 

1. Remove the clean out plugs from the boat.

 2. Locate the space between the T- handle on either one of the lock dogs.

 3.  Make  sure the T- handle is down and the dogs are in the lock position.

 4. Using a 9/64 drill bit, drill a hole approximately 1/2 inch below the top surface of the plug ~exactly through the plug and dog at the opening between them. 

To get the correct location for the hole, use the position of the screw that holds the dog in place as a guide . "NOTE"  It’s easier to drill the hole from the side with the round release button. It gives more room for the drill chuck to access the location on the plug for drilling.

 5.  Clean the drilled area of shavings and remove any burs where the drill bit exited the plug.

 6.  Place the E-Z Lock in the hole by squeezing it to open the ends. Once the E-Z Lock is in place be sure it has completely closed, if you drilled in the correct location you can visually see the 2 ends of the E-Z Lock are making contact.

 7.  Squeeze the E-Z Lock and remove it from the holes.  Press the release button and the T- handle will pop up.   Place the E-Z Lock in the outer holes with the clean out plug unlocked and you will see that it will not close until you depress the T- handle in to the locked position.  This is how you install the plugs with the E-Z Lock already in the proper position.  Simply place the plug back in the clean out opening, seat it and depress the T-handle, once the dogs have locked the E-Z Lock should close, you may need to wiggle it just a bit to ensure the ends have traveled all the way in.

 8.  To test that the E-Z Lock is performing its function properly, simply press the release button on the clean out plug and pull up hard on the T- handle, the plug should stay in place.  Push back down firmly on the T- handle to reset the internal locking device.

 9.  If you have the optional lanyards attached to your E-Z Locks, when reinstalling the clean out plugs simply put the original cable through the lanyard before you reattach the cable, this will prevent you from accidentally dropping one of the E-Z Locks in the water when accessing the clean out opening.

If your boat was made before the factory started adding the cable to the clean out plugs, simply use a small cable tie and attach the lanyard to the T-handle.
