    I don't think you could screw mine up. The bottom half goes over the stock pylon, and the pin goes through it. Then the top half fits on, and you ratchet down the forestay. Done.

    I used lenco electronic trim tab actuators to make my wake plate adjustable. Turns out all I ever really do is put it in the full-up position and leave it there.
