Replacing Taco GS380 outrigger bases with Gemlux outrigger bases involves several steps: 1. **Remove the Existing Bases:** Carefully unscrew and remove the Taco GS380 outrigger bases from the boat's T-top or hardtop. Make sure to keep track of any hardware or screws removed during this process. 2. **Prepare the Surface:** Clean the area where the old bases were mounted to ensure a smooth and clean surface for the new bases. Remove any residue or debris that may interfere with the installation of the Gemlux bases. 3. **Fit the Gemlux Bases:** Position the Gemlux outrigger bases over the mounting holes left by the Taco GS380 bases. Ensure that the new bases align properly and sit flush against the surface of the T-top or hardtop. 4. **Secure the Gemlux Bases:** Use the appropriate hardware provided with the Gemlux bases to securely fasten them to the boat's T-top or hardtop. Tighten the screws or bolts evenly to ensure a secure and stable fit. 5. **Install the Outrigger Poles:** Once the Gemlux bases are securely installed, you can attach the outrigger poles to the bases according to the manufacturer's instructions. 6. **Test for Stability:** Before heading out on the water, test the stability of the outrigger poles and bases to ensure they are securely mounted and functioning properly. By following these steps, you can successfully replace Taco GS380 outrigger bases with Gemlux outrigger bases, enhancing the performance and appearance of your boat's outrigger system.
