Follow these step-by-step instructions for secure installation of your Birdboss system on both wooden and fibreglass surfaces.
For Wooden Surfaces
- Preparation: Identify the exact location where the Birdboss will be mounted.
- Drill a Pilot Hole: Using a drill, make a pilot hole slightly smaller than the supplied screws.
- Lubricate the Screw: Apply a small amount of wax, varnish, or soap to the screw threads to ensure smooth installation and prevent wood splitting.
- Secure the Birdboss: Align the base with the pilot hole and screw it in securely. Ensure it’s level before tightening.
- Final Check: Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the wood. Confirm the base is firmly attached.
For Fibreglass Surfaces
- Preparation: Apply masking tape over the installation area to prevent gel coat flaking.
- Mark and Drill a Pilot Hole: Drill a 3.5–4.0mm pilot hole at your marked point on the tape.
- Countersink the Hole: Slightly flare the hole using a countersink bit to avoid surface cracks.
- Apply Sealant (Optional): Use sealant on the screw for extra waterproofing and hold.
- Install the Birdboss: Position the base or flush mount and tighten the screws carefully — do not overtighten.
Adjusting the Pivot Post
- Post Installation: Ensure the pivot and arms are clear of all obstructions.
- Securing the Pivot Post: Once positioned correctly, tighten the post using an Allen key.
Final Check
- Confirm the Birdboss is stable and securely attached.
- Wipe away any excess sealant or lubricant.
Important Notes
- Do not over-tighten screws on any surface — this may cause damage.
- Regularly check that the pivot post remains secure and well-adjusted.
- Remove Birdboss when under way or during extreme winds (over 40 knots).

Maintenance
Follow these care steps to prevent galling and galvanic corrosion between aluminium and stainless steel components in marine environments.
Rail Clamps – Aluminium & Stainless Steel
- 1) Clean Threads Thoroughly: Before assembly, ensure all threaded components are clean and free of salt, grit, or old lubricant.
- 2) Apply Anti-Seize / Anti-Corrosion Compound: Coat all threaded connections to prevent galling and galvanic corrosion.
- 3) Protect Exposed Surfaces: Apply a lanolin-based corrosion inhibitor to external faces for added moisture and salt protection.
- 4) Regular Inspection: After saltwater exposure or harsh weather, check for corrosion or wear and reapply products as needed.
Tip: Avoid copper-based anti-seize on aluminium + stainless combinations — it can accelerate galvanic corrosion.
Recommended Products
- Primary Anti-Seize: TEF-GEL® Anti-Seize & Corrosion Inhibitor — marine-grade, PTFE-based; isolates dissimilar metals, resists saltwater corrosion, and prevents thread seizure without drying out.
Alternatives (Nickel-based)
- Loctite LB 771 Nickel Anti-Seize (500 g)
- CRC Nickel Anti-Seize (75 ml)
- Devcon Stop Seize Nickel Anti-Seize (500 g)
Lanolin-Based Corrosion Inhibitors
- Lanotec Heavy Duty Liquid Lanolin (600 ml)
- WD-40 Specialist Rust Prevention Lanolin (300 g)
For best results: clean, apply TEF-GEL® on threads during assembly, then mist exposed surfaces with lanolin. Re-inspect periodically.
