MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Complete Typical Installation
It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the
centerline of the boat as possible. The motor must not encounter
any obstructions as it is lowered into the water or raised into the
boat when stowed and deployed. Make sure the motor rest is
positioned far enough beyond the edge of the boat. Make sure the
area under the mounting location is flat, clear to drill holes and
install nuts and washers.
NOTICE:
Images are a graphical representation and
may vary from your motor.
Save the box! A template for
installation is printed on the inside of the box.
