f. Detach the Removable Base from the rest of
the bracket by sliding it apart from the Non-
removable Base. If the installation will include
the Removable Base, align it with the holes that
were drilled. If it will not be used, set it aside
and place the bracket on the deck of the boat
aligned with the drilled holes.
g. Take the four Phillips Pan Head Screws (Item
#24) and place one each in the hole of the
selected base and into the drilled holes. Double
check the orientation and then secure to the
Deck of the boat with a #2 screwdriver.

h. Screw the Nylon Hex Nut up to the top of the
threads on the Rod and then leave it in place.
Remove the Rod from the Swivel Base. Hold
the Rod in place next to the Swivel Base.
i. Next stow the motor and determine how tall
the Rod on the bracket needs to be. There are
6 notches along the top of the Rod that are
used to adjust the height of the Rod for support.
Based on the configuration for your installation,
sections may need to be removed in order to
obtain the proper support height. One section
on the Rod equals approximately one inch.
j. If the Rod for your installation needs to be cut
shorter, loosen the Knob at the top of the Rod
until the Body can pull free from the Rod.
k. When cutting the Rod at least one notch on the
Rod must remain. Double check the intended
position of the cut before cutting and make
sure that the Rod is not cut too short. Once the
position is selected, use a hacksaw at one of the
notches to cut the Rod to the correct height. If
the original cut is too long, an additional section
can always be cut after testing the Rod.

CAUTION
When cut to the proper length and adjusted correctly
the Stabilizer body will not interfere with normal stowing
of the motor. On Terrova and PowerDrive this device is
not a substitute for positioning the Depth Collar against
the Steering Housing and tightening it to guard against
accidental deployment.
NOTE:
When cutting the Rod at least one notch on
the Rod must remain. If unsure, leave the Rod longer,
and cut off fewer notches and test after each notch is
removed before finishing the installation, or have the
bracket installed by a qualified marine installer.
