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

INSTALLING THE RIPTIDE POWERDRIVE
a. Place the mount on an elevated, level surface such
as a workbench or the tailgate of a pickup. The
motor, as removed from the box, should be in the
stowed position.
b. Remove the four sideplate screws using a #3 or #2
Phillips screwdriver. Two of these screws will be
located on each side of the mount.
