NOTICE:
When drilling the marked holes, make sure
that the drill bit is perpendicular to the Transom/Stern of
the boat and that the holes are being drilled straight. Not
drilling the holes straight will give the mounting hardware
a poor fit.
NOTICE:
To install the Raptor Direct Mount Angle
Bracket to the boat, the Hardware Kit (Assembly
2994943) included with the Raptor will be needed.
This includes Four (Part #2371758) Flat Head
Stainless Steel Washers, Four (Part #2371759)
Stainless Steel Fender Washers, Four (Part
#2383421) 3/8 - 16 X 3 1/2 Stainless Steel Hex
Head Cap Screws, Four (Part #2353102) Stainless
Steel Nylock Flange Nuts and anti-seize.
NOTICE:
When drilling holes into fiberglass, it
is helpful to first cover the surface with masking
tape. This will help keep the boat surface
unmarked and help with cleanup. Cover the surface
and then mark the location to drill. Once the
holes are drilled, remove the masking tape before
continuing installation.
b. Double check that the mounting location is clear to
drill holes and then use a Drill with a 7/16" Drill Bit
to drill through the Transom/Stern of the boat on the
marked locations.

c. Place a 1/8" bead of Marine Grade Sealant on the
Transom of the boat around the drilled holes.
d. Place the Marine Grade Sealant around the Mounting
Holes on the face of the Direct Mount Angle Bracket
that will contact the boat Transom/Stern when
mounted. Keep the sealant approximately centered
between the outside edge of the Mounting Bracket
and the Mounting Holes. Once the sealant is in
place, align the Direct Mount Angle Bracket in the
desired orientation with the holes that were drilled in
the Transom/Stern.
