I purchased a Whaler swim platform for my 170 and it did not come with installation instructions. If anyone would like to give me a hand and take some pictures of their installed swim platform it would be more that appreciated, or tell me how the underneath bracket is attached. The “L” bracket has unequal sides and I would like to know if the short length is attached to the transom? And is the “L” bracket centered to the platform? One other item is the round support tube and its attachment. The handrails I have already see on Tabasco’s pictures in the Cetacea and have that part figured out. Thanks in advance for any advice. Don

Jim, Thank you very much for the time you spent helping me. I was completely wrong in how I thought the "L" bracket was attached to the center of the platform. I owe you one. Don |

Swell, It is not installed yet. I am missing a couple bolts that must have been overlooked when they packed all the parts. I haven’t had the time to stop off at the dealership to talk to them about the missing parts, I have been too busy fishing. I also installed a livewell and pump that took some modifications. I am almost complete with adding all of my accessories. The Tarpon are in the Pass. Life is getting better. Don
