NOTICE:
It is recommended to have a second person
help with this step of the installation.
c. Check placement with the motor in the stowed
and deployed positions. Review the mounting
considerations at the beginning of the installation.
When the motor is in the deployed position, make
sure that the Shaft is 1-1/2” out past the Gunwale
of the boat. The lower unit, when stowed and
deployed, must not encounter any obstructions.
d. Mark the side edges and rear of the Outer Plate on
the bow of the boat. These markings will be used
to position a template that will be used to mark and
drill the holes for the Inner Plate.
