Rubber Inflatable Boats. The design allows the motor to be slid over the transom and mounted even in high sea states.
This mount is lightweight and robust built for the Warfighter.

1) Allow motor to drop to running position (against stop pin in transom
bracket) before lifting Lock down Lever.
2) Motor is easier to install onto transom when tilt is locked down.
3) Tighten clamp screws by hand. DO NOT use tools to tighten clamp
screws.
o
To prevent loss of engine overboard, attach engine retention cable to
RIB.
Retighten engine clamp screws after 15 minutes of operation.

Pull Start Pull Start Pull Start Pull Start Assembly Assembly Assembly Assembly
The Raider uses a robust pull starter made completely of machined
parts. We have eliminated the cable assembly from the pull starter to
the shifter to minimize corrosion. Conventional cable assemblies that
connected the pull starter to the shifter, over time corroded and became
an issue. This function is inside the Electronic Control unit for both
safety and reliability. Eliminating this cable besides eliminates
corrosion issues (using less parts) supporting higher reliability.
