All six mounting holes must be used when securing the Riptide Instinct QUEST to the boat deck. If the desired mounting location does not
allow for all six mounting holes and mounting bolts, a Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit (1854058) should be used or a new mounting location
selected. Consider a quick release bracket with the installation of your motor.
Mounting options for the Riptide Instinct QUEST include:
1. Installing the motor directly to the boat deck
2. Mounting the motor with an MKA-58 Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit (1854058)
3. Mounting the motor with an MKA-56/RTA-55 composite quick release bracket (1854056 - black/1854055 - white) or an MKA-57
sliding quick release bracket (1854057)
4. Combining an MKA-58 Boat Deck Reinforcement Kit and an MKA-56/RTA-55 Quick Release Bracket with the Riptide Instinct QUEST
When mounting the Riptide Instinct QUEST directly to the boat, follow the installation instructions outlined in this manual. If an
accessory bracket will be used to mount the Riptide Instinct QUEST, follow the installation instructions provided with the mounting
accessory. To view a list of compatible accessories, visit

It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline or keel of the boat
as possible. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and install
hardware. The mounting surface for the Riptide Instinct QUEST must be flat. Rubber washers
can be used to shim the base extrusion flat before hardware is tightened.
The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into the water or raised into the
boat when stowed and deployed. When stowed, ensure that there is enough room for the Shaft
and Control Head and that they do not extend off the side of the boat.
