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.
