Step-By-Step Instructions:
STEP 1:
DETERMINE A MOUNTING SURFACE WITH A MINIMUM OF
¼” ALUMINUM OR STEEL RIGID PLATING
OR ATTACH
RAILS TO FORM AN APPROPRIATE MOUNTING PLATFORM
The unit has pre-drilled mounting slots to accommodate 16” or 24”
centers. In some installations it will be necessary to drill through the
thruster mounting plate to fit centers other than 24”, or to attach to
mounting rails. Use a ¼” drill bit to drill the mounting plate.
NOTE:
You will require a helper for Step 2
STEP 2:
POSITION THRUSTER AND ATTACH TO UNDERSIDE OF
DECK
Using a helper, position the thruster in place, and using the supplied self—
drilling/self-tapping 1 ¼” stainless hex-head mounting screws, apply a small amount
of supplied Loctite to the threads and drive the screws into the mounting surface at
the appropriate location. Pilot holes are not required. Two screws are required at
the front and two at the back of the unit.
