Propeller installation
Install the drive pin (drive pin and cross-shaped slot in the propeller must align in order to
correctly fit the propeller to the motor), anode, washer and self-locking nut onto the drive
shaft. (Fig. 1)
The cross-shaped slot (2 slots) allow the user to re-assemble the propeller if one slot is worn.

Hold the propeller to prevent it from rotating and use the propeller wrench to tighten the
propeller nut until firm. Do not over-tighten. (Fig. 2)
Only use the supplied propeller wrench to tighten, other tools may cause over-tightening
resulting in damage. TIP: Keep this hand wrench in your boat in the event that you get debris
such as fishing line around the propeller shaft.
Tighten the nut ¼ turn past the 'snug' point. Over-tightening can cause damage to the
propeller.

Installing the lift handle and fin
Ensure that the motor is disconnected from the battery before installing components.
Nuts, bolts and fin supplied in plastic bag.
Fig. 4
Align the fin on the bottom of the motor, note correct
direction before tightening nuts and bolts.
Mounting the motor
Ensure that the battery is not
connected when initially installing or
when mounting the motor using the
Quick Release Bracket. If not using
the motor for extended period or
when storing the vessel, disconnect
the battery.
Installation method
The motor can be bolted directly to
the boat OR if using the Quick
Release Bracket, bolt the puck to the
boat. It is recommended to mount
the motor so it is longitudinal with
the boat or on a slight angle. This
will also depend whether your boat
has an electric motor mounting plate.
