The mounting location of the Quick Release Bracket will vary 
depending on the motor that will be mounted:

1. 

For PowerDrive or Terrova motors:

 Fully deploy the motor and 

position the mount on the bow of the boat to check for proper 
clearance. The motor must not encounter any obstructions 
as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat. When 
the motor is deployed, there must be a minimum required 
distance of 1½" between the Gunwale and the Shaft.

2. 

For Ulterra Motors:

 Position the mount so the Slot in  

the Base Extrusion is positioned beyond the gunwale of the 
boat. For proper clearance, the entire Slot must be visible 
beyond the gunwale. When the motor is deployed, there must 
be a minimum required distance of 1½" between the Gunwale 
and the Shaft. The Ulterra motor cannot be deployed before 
mounting and connecting to a power source. 

3. 

For the DeckHand 40: 

The Davit must always be mounted 

so it overhangs the bow by approximately nine inches. This 
leaves room for the anchor to clear the boat and properly 
pivot in the Davit. For more information, refer to the 
DeckHand 40 owner's manual online a

Mount the bracket using only the four holes that are farthest 
outboard. The two holes closest inboard are 

not

 used to 

install the bracket. 

4. 

For the Pontoon Hand Control Bracket:

 Mount the bracket 

using only the four holes that are farthest outboard. The two 
holes closest inboard are 

not

 used to install the bracket.
