i. Take the Top Plate and turn it so the flat side
faces upwards. Align the Mounting Holes in the
Top Plate with the Mounting Holes in the Base
Extrusion that were exposed when the sideplates
were removed. Make sure that the Socket Head
Cap Screw is located on the mount closest to
the Power Cord. The appearance of your Base
Extrusion may vary depending on motor type.
j. Use the 1/4 -20 X 7/8 Hex Head Cap Screw
(Item #14) and Nylock Nuts (item # 16) to
secure the Top Plate to the Base Extrusion. It
is recommended to use a minimum of two bolts
on each side, placing them the farthest apart
on the mount. The screws will pass from the
bottom up, through the Top Plate and then the
Base Extrusion. The Nylock Nuts are placed on
the screws on top of the Base Extrusion and
tightened with the
7/16” Box End Wrench
. Make
sure all hardware is secure.

NOTE:
To prevent seizing of hardware, do not use
high speed installation tools. Wetting the screws or
applying an anti-seize may help prevent seizing.
NOTE:
If you are mounting an Ulterra to the Quick
Release Bracket, the Clipped Washer that was
previously used to install the motor to the boat, or
included in the mounting hardware that came with
the Ulterra motor should be used. Place the Clipped
Washer above the Base Extrusion, between the Base
Extrusion and the Nylock Nut. Refer to the Ulterra
Owner’s Manual online at
minnkotamotors.com
for
complete details on mounting the Ulterra.
