If you own a motor that does not fit into either 
one of these categories then you will have to 
drill a hole in your motor to mount the ball 
stud. Look directly in front of the motor cover 
to determine where is the best place for you to 
drill a hole . The ball stud can be installed 
with the ball up or down.  The only concern is 
that you need to have enough room to attach 
the quick disconnect over the ball stud.  
(See picture 3)  (55-5705 optional bracket is 
used in pictures 3) 
   
 If you do not have adequate room to attach 
the quick disconnect to the ball stud, you will 
have to use our flat mounting brackets 
(included), in order to give you adequate 
room.  You will need to drill two holes and 
attached the brackets as shown .  
(See picture 5) 
 

NOTE: If using the flat mounting brackets, 
it is best to keep them as short as possible. 
The kicker ball stud should be as close to 
the kicker frame as possible.
