Installinig The Bow-Mount - MINN KOTA ULTREX Installation Instructions Manual

e. Reinstall the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
and tighten to 18 to 20 ft-lbs with a Torque
Wrench.
NOTE:
The 5/16" Allen Screw must be
tightened when installed and periodically
tightened to 18 to 20 ft-lbs. This will allow
the motor to be stowed properly. Tighten
the Allen Screw when the Mount is in the
deployed position.
Installing the Bow-Mount
During installation, it is recommended to mount the motor to the boat before installing the Gas Spring Pin. The Gas Spring Pin
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.

ITEM(S) NEEDED
a. Review the mounting considerations at the
beginning of the Installation section for proper
placement. Place the Mount as close to the
centerline or keel of the boat as possible, with
the motor in the stowed position, on the deck of
the boat. Check placement with the motor in the
stowed and deployed positions.
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.
b. Place the Hold-Down Strap (Item #20) under the
base of the Mount Plate so that it is below the
Mount when placed.
