BOW MOUNT INSTALLATION
1
Select mounting position very carefully. Be sure to check for
clearance in all motor positions, including running and
stowing positions. Make sure there is a (5 cm) 2 inch
clearance from top of deck to underside for mounting
screws.
2
To make the installation easier remove the motor from the
mount bracket by loosening the tension knob on the front of
the mount.
3
Using a phillips head screwdriver, secure decket to mount
base with the two decket screws provided in hardware bag.
4
Use the front mounting holes that go through the plastic
decket and the rear mounting holes on mount base. Place
the mount in the desired position and use the base of the
mount as a template. Use a (6.5 mm) 1/4 inch drill bit to mark
the mounting holes. Drill the marked holes with a 1/4 inch
drill bit into the deck (5 cm) 2 inches deep.
•
Redrill each mounting hole with a (13 mm) 1/2 inch drill bit.
•
Insert the rubber mounting isolators into the drilled holes.
Position the wider side toward the outside of the mount
bracket.
•
Standard mount only - Position lock down strap between
rear mount holes and rubber mounting isolators.
Position the Velcro side down on the deck and the buckle
facing toward the outside of the boat.
•
Place the mount bracket on the isolators and align the holes.
Install the two longer screws into the front holes and the two
shorter screws into the rear holes. Tighten all the mounting
screws until the rubber isolators start to compress.
Retighten mounting screws after the first couple of uses.
**TIP: It is important that your bracket lays flush against the
isolators before you bolt it to the deck. If it is not flush,
you will put the mount in a bind as you bolt it down,
making it difficult or impossible to unlatch. Once
installed, your bracket should latch securely with the
latch pins evenly in the latch, and release with a light,
easy pull of the rope handle.
