Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual
Jackplate clearance checks MUST be completed after installation
and before use. Failure to adhere to this warning may result in the
loss of vessel control, leading to possible ejection from vessel
causing property damage, personal injury and/or death.
1.
With the Jackplate at its intended operating position, verify
full steering travel through the entire trim range.
2.
CAREFULLY tilt the engine and verify that no interference
occurs as the outboard engine is tilted. Check for interference
between the SeaStar Jackplate and the steering cylinder(s),
tiebars, steering hoses, outboard engine, engine hoses or any
other components.
3.
If any interference exists, action must be taken to do one of
the following:
a. Establish the minimum operating position of the Jackplate at
a height which avoids interference under these conditions.
b. Add a tilt limiter device to the outboard engine and ensure it
is set to prevent the engine from reaching a position where
interference is possible.
c. Move the engine up to a higher set of mounting bolt holes.
