4. Pivot the bracket until the pod is at least 2" (50.8 mm) from the lift assist base
and at least 1/2" (13 mm) from the trolling motor shaft. See the illustration
Measuring the Safety Distance of the Pod and Positioning the Bracket.
WARNING! The pod must not hit the trolling motor shaft, lift assist base, or
any objects. These measurements are also critical during transport when the
pod is stowed with the trolling motor.
5. Close the bracket lock.
NOTE: For a secure installation, it should take significant force to lock down
the bracket. The bracket lock can be tightened by adjusting the tightness of the
screws (see the illustration Positioning the Bracket). If you adjust the screws,
make sure you adjust each screw equally.
