It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as
possible. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and install
nuts and washers. Make sure the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond the edge of
the boat. The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into the water
or raised into the boat when stowed and deployed. Consider a quick release or adapter
bracket with the installation of your motor. To view a list of accessories, please visit
