bracket on top of the Rod and secure it in 
place with the Knob.

the motor Shaft. Stow the trolling motor and 
lower the motor so that the Shaft is captured 
in the Body of the bracket. Secure the Shaft 
by hooking the Rubber Strap in place.

NOTE: 

Clearance is built into the Body to fit 

the top of the Rod in an imperfect cut from the 
previous step. 

m.  To fine-tune the height of the Body, loosen 

the Nylon Hex Nut at the base of the Rod. 
Once loose, rotate the Rod in the Swivel Base 
in a clockwise direction to lower it and in a 
counter clockwise direction to raise it.  Only 
use the adjustment at the bottom of the Rod 
to fine-tune the height of the Rod to provide 
adequate support. Test the placement with 
the motor in the stowed position.

n.  Rotate the Rod in place until it is the proper 

height to provide adequate support for the 
Shaft. Then secure the Rod by rotating the 
Nylon Hex Nut down until it is tight against the 
Swivel Base.
