OPTION 2 - ( NYLON QUICK RELEASE BRACKET )
ATTACHING THE MOTOR TO YOUR BOAT USING THE
OPTIONAL NYLON QUICK RELEASE BRACKET
Before beginning the process of attaching the motor to your boat, please
ensure the entire Watersnake mount assembly, including the optional
quick-release plate, must be mounted in a level, horizontal position as close
to the boat’s centreline as possible. The Watersnake motor and quick-release
plate do 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 and/or lower quick-release plate. 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.
1. QUICK RELEASE BOTTOM PLATE INSTALLATION
2. QUICK RELEASE TOP PLATE INSTALLATION
Remove the side covers from the
motor mount. Using the bolts
washers and nuts provided, attach
the Quick Release Top Plate to the
motor mount. The foot print of the
Top Plate includes several pre-
drilled holes to suit a variety of
motor types.
Attach the Quick Release Bottom Plate to the
bow of the boat, taking care to ensure it is on
the centreline of the boat and placed forward
enough so that when the motor is attached
the shaft of the motor is not making contact
with the boats gunwale rubber. With the
plate in position, mark the holes for drilling,
ensuring as you do that the bow area below the mounting location is clear
and accessible.
Attach the Quick Release Bottom Plate to the bow using the stainless steel
bolts, nuts and washers provided. It is important when doing this work that
the boat is level.
