Position the platform at the desired location, parallel to the water line, and mark the four transom mounting holes. Drill the holes perpendicular to the transom, then use marine-grade adhesive or caulking on the mounting surfaces and holes before securing the platform with suitable fasteners. If the transom is less than 2\" thick, a suitable non-compressive backing plate is recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow should the Garelick I-O Swim Platform be maintained?
