INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION OF THE BOWMOUNT:
We recommend that you have another person help with this
procedure.
1. For installation, do not remove the shaft/motor from the
Bowguard. The Bowguard spring is under tension and must
always remain secured.
2. Place the mount, with the motor in the fully retracted (flat)
position, on the deck of the boat:
• The motor should be mounted as close to the centerline
of the boat as possible.
• Make sure bow area under the chosen location is clear
and unobstructed for drilling.
• Make sure the motor rest is positioned far enough
beyond the edge of the boat. The motor, as it is lowered
into the water or raised into the boat, must not encounter
any obstructions.
3. Once in position, mark at least four (4) of the holes pro-
vided in the bow plate and drill through the marks using a
(9/32”) bit.
4. Mount the plate to the bow through the drilled holes using
the provided (1/4-20 x 3-1/2”) bolts, nuts and washers.
NOTE:
If possible, secure all sets of mounting bolts, nuts
and washers.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOUR
MOTOR IS MOUNTED ON A
LEVEL SURFACE
