INSTALLATION
MOTOR INSTALLATION
1. Find a transom area of the boat that is free from obstructions.
2. Open the clamp screws on the bracket enough so that it will fi t over the top of the
boat transom.
3. Place the Lever Lock Mounting bracket over the top of the boat transom so that
the bracket is resting on top of the transom.
4. Verify that there are no obstacles that the control box, handle, or prop might hit
while in use that would restrict steering or cause damage to the motor.
5. Tighten down the clamp screws to the transom by hand only. Do not use any tools
to tighten the clamp screws as this may damage the bracket or your boat.
6. We recommend the tilt angle of the motor to be adjusted so that the motor shaft is
perpendicular to the water surface when the motor is in use.
7. For transport, always tilt the motor into the boat, such that the motor and prop
assembly are completely out of the water and the motor is positioned up close to
the lever lock bracket.
NOTE:
When setting the depth be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least
12” to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The propeller must be completely
submerged.
CAUTION:
• Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
• Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.
