guide tab to help align the connector pins. Align the male tab and pins to the corresponding female connections on the battery
port. Ensure the threading and connection is seated properly to avoid cross threading and tighten the connection.

align the connector pins. Align the female tab and pins to the corresponding male connections on the throttle port. Ensure the
threading and connection is seated properly to avoid cross threading and tighten the connection. Secure the cord in the slot
under the two tabs of the metal plate and rout the cord out of the cut-out at the end of the throttle base.

Installing the Motor Drive in Your Kayak
To install the Helix MD unit unlatch the Flex Pod OS and remove from pod scupper and store away. Ensure your kayak is in a
sufficient depth of water to accommodate the full depth of the installed Helix MD unit (approx. 26”). Align the Helix MD
propeller
to a vertical position and lower the unit though the pod scupper with propeller facing to the stern of the kayak. Once you have
the Helix MD unit fully deployed and seated within the pod, use the latching buckles to secure the unit to the pod.
