INSTALLING THE MOUNT
NOTICE: The 5/16" Allen Screw must be tightened when
installed and periodically re-tightened to 18 to 20 ft-lbs.
This will allow the motor to stow properly. Tighten the
Allen Screw when the Mount is in the deployed position.
a. Review the mounting considerations at the beginning
of the Installation section for proper placement. With
the motor in the stowed position, place the Mount
on the deck of the boat, as close to the centerline or
keel as possible. Check placement with the motor in
both the stowed and deployed positions.
NOTICE: This motor weighs approximately 55 lbs. We
recommend having a second person help with the installation.

Installing the Mount
During installation, it is recommended to mount the motor to the boat before installing the Gas Spring. The Gas Spring is installed in the
Gas Spring Cylinder. The Gas Spring Cylinder is located on the inside of the Outer Arm, which is a part of the Mount. At this point in the
installation, the Gas Spring Cylinder is not fully installed and may move around inside the Mount when stowing and deploying the motor. The
Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged while deploying the motor, and the damage will prevent the Lift-Assist feature from operating
correctly once fully assembled. Make sure that the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged in the Mount.
CAUTION
The Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged in the Mount
while stowing or deploying the motor because it is not yet fully
installed. Damage will prevent the Lift-Assist feature from
operating correctly once fully assembled. Make sure that
the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged by keeping it
inside the Outer Arm of the Mount.
e. Reinstall the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
and tighten to 18 to 20 ft-lbs with a Torque Wrench.
