TOOLS AND RESOURCES REQUIRED:
• Phillips Screw Driver
• Drill
• 9/32" Drill Bit
• 7/16" Box End Wrench
• A second person to help with the installation
1. Before you proceed, determine the desired mounting location for the motor. It is recommended that the motor be mounted as
close to the center line of the boat as possible as seen below. Verify that there are no obstacles that the control box, handle,
or prop might hit while in use that would restrict steering or cause damage to the motor.
CAUTION: Make sure the motor is mounted on a level surface and is not connected to a power source.
2. Verify the area under the chosen mounting location is clear and safe to drill through.
3. Once in position, mark a minimum of four of the six mounting holes (two on each side). Drill through the marked holes using a
9/32 drill bit.
NOTE: The four front mounting holes uses the same bolt pattern as used on Minn Kota quick release plates MKA-21, RTA-
17, MKA-16-02 and MKA-32. The pontoon mount may be attached to any of these for your mounting convenience. Deploy
the motor and remove the motor assembly from the mount by loosening the Steering Tension Knob and opening the door.
4. Mount the plate to the bow through the drilled holes using the 1/4"-20 x 2" bolts, washers and nuts provided.
NOTE: When setting the depth be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12" to avoid churning or agitation of surface
water. The propeller must be completely submerged.
WARNING:
When raising or lowering motor, keep fi ngers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.
