STEP 5: ASSEMBLE STERN THRUSTER MOUNTING ASSEMB LY
If extension posts and/or angle brackets are required, bolt them together

that assembly and future disassembly is easier.
STEP 6: ATTACH THRUSTER BASE
Transom mount
Apply Sikaflex or equivalent sealant in each hole and in an area between the bolt
holes on the mounting flange.
Apply Sikaflex or equivalent sealant to the inside of the hull where the backing plate
