OPTION 1
ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO YOUR BOAT WITHOUT
THE OPTIONAL QUICK RELEASE BRACKET
Use 6mm or 1/4” bolts, washers and nylon locking nuts. All fasteners should
be of 316-grade stainless steel.
On aluminium boats, use thin rubber washers,
gasket material or a film of neutral-cure marine silicone to limit bolt contact
with alloy to reduce electrolysis.
1 “Dry fit’ to determine the most suitable position on the boat. Choose a
site that offers the least exposure to heavy spray or chance of immersion,
especially of the head unit and rear of base mount assembly.
2 Remove side covers from the base mount to reveal the six mounting holes.
At least four must be fastened to the boat deck with approved bolts, washers
and nuts.
3 With motor in stowed position, check that no part of the entire assembly,
including the shaft and head unit, is obstructed by any part of the boat, eg, rails,
seats, opening hatches, etc. Check that no part of boat impedes full deployment
of motor.
4 Check with the motor in a deployed position that the Watersnake shaft does
not come into contact with any part of the hull. Allow at least 30mm clearance
from boat gunwale.
5 Check with the motor in a deployed position that the propeller and lower unit
do not contact any part of the hull through complete 360° rotation.
6 Mark potential mounting holes in lower deck. Check that all holes allow
access below deck for protruding bolt, washers and spanner. Mark and drill
holes.
7 Fit at least four bolts down through motor mounting plate and through
foredeck. Fit the washers and nylon locking nuts from below.
Do not overtighten.
8 Apply a light smear of marine grease to pivot points on lock/release lever
and turnbox pivot points. Replace the side covers.
Before beginning the process of attaching the motor to your boat please
ensure the entire Watersnake mount assembly must be mounted in a
level, horizontal position as close to the boat's centreline as possible. The
Watersnake motor does not necessarily need to face directly forward.
On slightly curved decks, spacer washers or blocks must be used to ensure
level mounting of the motor base. In some cases it may be necessary to
fabricate a mounting plinth from alloy or fibreglass to provide a level location.
If you are unsure please consult your marine technician.
