INSTALLATION DU SUPPORT
8.
Déterminez la structure du trou de montage que
vous souhaitez utiliser à partir de l’illustration
ci-dessous. En utilisant les trous de montage
dans le support comme modèle, marquez le
pont supérieur du bateau avec un crayon ou un
marqueur effaçable.
9.
Retirez le support du pont du bateau et percez
les trous que vous avez marqués à l’étape
précédente en utilisant la perceuse et une
mèche de 7,144 mm (9/32”). Soyez prudent
afin de n’endommager aucun des câbles ou des
caractéristiques essentielles qui pourraient se
trouver sous la surface où vous allez percer.
10.
Placez de nouveau le support sur le pont du
bateau et vérifiez que la bande Velcro™ est
installée et positionnée telle qu’indiquée.

What about shaft length selection?
Choosing the correct shaft length is important so that the angler’s electric motor does
not cavitate, creating fish-spooking noise. The rule of thumb is that the center of the
motor section should be submerged 9". In general, shaft length selection is more critical
with bow-mount motors versus transom-mount motors. Most boat transoms are
similar in their distance to the water, and Minn Kota’s standard transom shaft lengths
should be adequate. With bow-mounted motors, there is much greater variation in
shaft length requirements. Measure down from the mounting surface of the transom
or bow to the water level. Add 5" to waterline measurement for fishing in rough water.
Add 12" to waterline measurement for steering a hand control motor while standing.
Use this measurement and the tables below to find the appropriate shaft length.
What are the benefits of a bow-mounted electric motor?
Boats do not tend to go in a straight line. Because of this, it is much easier to pull a boat
than to push a boat. It is also easier to move the bow of the boat sideways compared
to moving the transom. Therefore, a bow-mounted electric motor allows for much
greater boat control and positioning. If quick-response boat control and positioning is
what you are looking for, a Minn Kota bow-mount electric motor is a must.
