MINN KOTA ULTREX Installation Instructions Manual page 8

INSTALLING THE BOw-MOUNT
2
c. The Mount can be installed on either the Port
or Starboard side of the boat based on personal
preference. Test the placement of the Hold-Down
Strap to be sure it can hold the Mount as placed.
The placement of the buckle on the Hold-Down
Strap either inboard or outboard is based on
personal preference. The hook and loop on the
fastener should be face down for the Hold-Down
Strap to function.

d. Check the placement with the motor in the
deployed position. When the motor is in the
deployed position, make sure that the Shaft is
1-1/2" out past the Gunwale of the boat. The
lower unit, when stowed and deployed must not
encounter any obstructions.
e. Check the placement of the Hold-Down Strap
when the motor is in the stowed and deployed
position and adjust if necessary.

f. Once the Mount is in position, determine which
bolt pattern to use. The bolt pattern selected will
depend on the deck space available on your boat.
g. It is recommended to mark at least 4 of the 6
holes in the base of the Mount and to have two
bolts on each side that are located the farthest
apart on the Mount Plate. Ideal installation would
allow for 6 bolts to be used, with a minimum of 4.
h. Drill through the deck of the boat using a 9/32"
Drill Bit on the marked locations.
i. Be sure the Hold-Down Strap under the base
of the Mount Plate sits between the second
and third set of bolts according to the mounting
pattern selected. Double check that it can close
around the Mount when stowed.
