INSTALLING THE RIPTIDE POWERDRIVE
g. When the motor is in the deployed position, make
sure that the Shaft is 1-1/2" out past the Gunwale of
the boat. The lower unit, when stowed and deployed
must not encounter any obstructions.
h. Check to be sure that the mount is level. Use the
Rubber Washers provided to create a level surface
if necessary.
i. It is recommended to mark at least 6 of the 12 holes
in the Base Extrusion and to have a minimum of two
bolts on each side that are located the farthest apart.
Ideal installation would allow for 6 bolts to be used,
with a minimum of 4.
j. Drill through the deck of the boat using a 9/32" Drill
Bit on the marked locations.

k. Put a 1/4-20 x 3-1/2" (Item #1) screw in each of
the drilled locations. The screw should pass through
the Base Extrusion and the boat deck. If the rubber
washers (Item #4) are used, they should sit between
the Base Extrusion and boat deck. Make sure to
secure the motor with screws on each side of the
Base Extrusion.
