Raider Installation____________________________________________________
a. Handling Engine
The Raider was designed to be carried by the two side rails installed
to allow the outboard to be moved through submarine hatches and
small areas. The handle/shifter should be upright into the hollow area
to keep from getting damaged and to help in carrying the Raider. Be
aware of the sharp propeller when lifting through submarine hatches.
To move engine around shop area, use a motor stand that supports
engine by the transom mount.
b. Installation of single Engine
The Raider has been designed to be released from submarines and air dropped. This in-
stallation will discuss a typical installation
– no special operations installation.
Position the outboard engine at the exact center of the stern and mount it against the Rub-
ber Inflatable Boat pad or plate. It is important to keep it centered as much as possible,
Tighten clamp screws by hand DO NOT use tools to tighten clamp screws. Retighten en-
gine clamps after 15 minutes of operation.

WARNING
Most Rubber Inflatable Boats are rated and certified in terms of
their maximum horsepower on the transom. This information 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. Attach safety wire to
boat to avoid losing the motor overboard.
