3-4 Transom Matching with RAIDER 50.
Be sure that the anti-ventilation plate of the outboard is below the water surface when running
with wide open throttle.
If the Raider pushes water into the RIB; raise the motor on the transom
by adding a shim on top of transom to achieve proper Raider motor height.
Note: If the height difference exceeds 10 – 30 mm engine power performance is likely
to be reduced as a result of increased water resistance to the gear case assembly
.
3.5 Attaching the Stern Bracket
Both Zodiac and Wing inflatable’s come with bracket attached. The Raider is a long shaft (20 inches)
and should attach simply by centering the Raider 50 in the center and tighten Raider clamps. For dual
Raiders position motors as described above to allow connecting rod to be attached.
A
CAUTION
Overheating may occur if the Anti-ventilation Plate Is at a level higher
than the bottom of the RIB, as a result of air sucking rather than water.
