BEFORE STARTING
Because each installa on is different, you will have to determine what moun ng hardware is required for
your par cular situa on. In all cases make sure you use high quality 1/2 inch stainless steel bolts.
For
bolt‐on
motors you will need two sets of bolts, nut and washers—one set to mount the bracket to the
boat and one setup to mount the motor to the bracket.
On exis ng installa ons, you may be able to reuse the bolts that have been used for you motor to mount the
trim and lt bracket to the boat. However, make sure that the bolts are high quality stainless steel and are
in good condi on.
For
clamp‐on
motors, you will need one set of 1/2 inch bolts, nuts and washers to mount the bracket to
the boat, plus the appropriate security bolts.
How to measure for Transom Moun ng Bolts
Because each transom is different, you will need to determine the right length of moun ng bolts. For
installa ons where moun ng holes will be drilled, you can take this measurement a er the holes have been
drilled. Simply measure the thickness of the transom and
Add
2 inches.
How to measure Bolts for Moun ng the Motor to the Trim & Tilt
Bracket:
To determine the length for bolt-on motors, measure the thickness of the moun ng bracket on your motor,
and
add
1 inch for the thickness of the trim and lt bracket.
Make sure motor hoses and cables are long enough for set back
This motor li bracket places your outboard 7 inches farther away from the controls, ba ery and gas tank.
Check to make sure that each of these cables and hoses has the required amount of slack. An easy way to
check this is to unclamp the outboard from the boat while it is secured to an engine hoist. Then simply
move the motor back 7 inches with all of the hoses and cables s ll connected.
NOTE: Because of this set‐back feature, you will generally no ce an improvement in your boat’s
performance. The set‐back will place your prop further from the transom where there is less water
turbulence which means your prop can perform be er.
