Bennett Marine BOLT Installation & User Manual page 15

• Swing the actuator through its
maximum range of motion to
ensure there is the proper amount
of cable to allow movement
without binding.
• Unscrew the two #14 x 1-1/2"
screws holding the adjustable
upper hinge and pull back from
the transom making sure the cable
length does not change.
• Apply 3M 5200 waterproof sealant
on the mounting surface and
around the wiring of the actuator.
• Screw the adjustable upper hinge to
the transom using (2) of the
supplied #14 x 1-1/2" screws in the
lower 2 mounting positions.

• Remove the BOLT actuator from
the upper hinge allowing the
actuator to hang.
• Install the remaining (1) #14 x
1-1/2" screw into the top position
of the hinge.
• Install the BOLT actuator to the
upper hinge using the supplied
5/16-18 bolt and nut. Make sure
not to over-tighten as the actuator
needs to rotate within the hinge.
Over-tightening will cause the
actuator to bind. Do not collapse
upper hinge mount uprights.
• Tighten until the bolt and nut
contact the flanges of the upper
hinge. There should be a gap
between the uprights of the upper
hinge mount and the flanges on the
actuator.
