Bow Mount Installation
1) Carefully select the area on the deck to install the
mount. Choose an area where the mount will provide
ample clearance for all of the motor positions
including the running and stowing positions. Ensure
the forward mounting screws are placed in a location
on the deck where there is enough room to install the
screws and washers without penetrating the hull.
2) Using a Phillips head screwdriver and the decket
screws provided in the hardware bag, secure the
decket to the mount base. (The decket for heavy duty
spring mounts can be installed last.)
3) Use the front mounting holes that go through the
plastic decket and the rear mounting holes on the
mount base. Place the mount base on the surface of
the boat deck where it is to be mounted; use the
mount base as a template to mark the location of the
holes. Use a very sharp drill bit to drill holes (5 cm) 2
inches into the boat deck. Drill a (13mm) ½ inch hole
when using the optional rubber isolators; otherwise
follow installation instructions for specific mounting
hardware.
NOTE: A rubber spacer or washer should by used
between the base of the mount and the boat mounting
surface when the rubber isolators are not used.
4) IF applicable, insert the rubber mounting isolators into
the drilled holes. Position the wider side of the
isolator toward the outside of the mount bracket.
5) 07 standard mount only – Position tie down strap
between the rear mount holes and the rubber
mounting isolators. Position the velcro side down
on the deck and the buckle facing toward the outside
of the boat.
6) Place the mount bracket on the isolators and align the
holes. Install the two longer screws into the front
holes and the two shorter screws into the rear holes.
Tighten all of the mounting screws.
It is important that the bracket lies even against the
isolators before bolting it to the deck. If the mount is not
even, it will bind as it is bolted down making it difficult or
impossible to unlatch. Once installed, the latch pins
should snap firmly into place and release easily with a
quick snap of the wrist and a light pull of the rope handle.
