34 PC Engine Cover Hatch Set up

Does anyone have a picture of the way the Engine hatch ram is set up in the bilge? I am looking to see how the bracket is screwed into the bilge. I had work done over the winter and they had to remove the hatch. Now when I lift it open or close it the bracket comes undone. I used bigger screws and the same thing happens. I just want to make sure the bracket was installed correctly. Or is it an adjustment thing? How do you adjust it? I have an email into tag for a drawing also. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve
 
Okay Formula Tag sent me a picture of the way the bracket sits and that is set up correctly. My next question is can any 34 PC owners tell me at the top of the Ram there are three holes that a pin slides thru. Mine is thru the first one which is closest to the forward part of the boat. Does anyone have there pin in the middle hole or the last one towards the stern?
Thanks

I don't think mine is through the 1st one, might be the 2nd. I'll try to remember to check, when I go to the boat this weekend. That being said, if the ram is not attached to the exact same position as other boats it may require a different "pin" setting. If memory serves me, mine is almost 1/3 of the way aft, of the engines. In the interim, you may want to have someone slowly raise the hatch, while you're in the bilge watching. You should be able to see if it is over traveling, that way.
