MOUNT INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE BOWMOUNT STABILIZER KIT
Tools Needed:
• Hand Saw
• 3/8” Nut Driver
• File or Sandpaper
1. Place the motor in the stowed position.
2. Measure from the screw hole in the upper arm to the boat deck or gunwale. Add
3/4” to the total to get the correct support shaft length (image 1).
3. Trim the bottom of the support shaft with a hand saw to the correct length. Round
the cut edge with a fi le or sandpaper. Attach the rubber bumper.
4. Secure the support shaft to the bowmount with the 1/4” hex head screw with a
lock washer on top and one on bottom of the bowmount arm (image 2).
5. Verify that the motor locks into the stowed position when retracted. The stabilizer should support the bowmount to prevent
bouncing yet not interfere with the locking system (image 3). Adjust the stabilizer length as needed.
INSTALLATION OF THE HOLD DOWN STRAP
(Not included on all models)
1. Before mounting the trolling motor place the Hold Down Strap under the bowmount
between the mounting holes near the back of the motor rest with the hook and loop
side of the strap facing down (image 4).
2. Secure the bowmount with the mounting bolts to capture the strap.
3. To stow the motor, pull the strap through the rectangular ring until snug. Press the hook
pad of the strap, into the loop pad and secure (image 5). This should be used whenever
the motor is stowed.
