RAIDER INSTALLATION ON RUBBER INFLATABLE BOATS
(RIBS)
4.7 RIB’s may have weight/horsepower limitations –
Raider 40 weight is 148 pounds for single Outboard – without Safety Jet Drive
Raider 50 weight is 178 pounds for single Outboard – without Safety Jet Drive
Check transom tag on RIB prior to installation. Install motor(s) as close to center as possible.

measured from an
imagined center
line of each engine, in the exact center of the stem. (Fig. 2). After centering
the engines, insure the control rod reaches both engines. Twin engine configurations have an
extended motor rod where the control arm attaches. Remove cowling and insert dual-control
throttle cable.
Every Raider can be made to become “dual” operated. Order the optional kit which contains
Cable; connecting rod; and motor adapter. The connecting rod controls both Raiders; the
throttle cable quickly integrates both fuel controls. Either tiller can be used.
Most Rubber Inflatable Boats are rated and certified in terms of their
maximum horsepower and weight of outboard, and this is shown on
the boat's certification plate. Do not equip your RIB with an outboard
that exceeds this limit.
Do not operate the engine until it has been securely mounted on the
boat in accordance with the instructions.
