Installation - MINN KOTA TRAXXIS User Manual

MOTOR INSTALLATION
1
a. Find a transom area of the boat that is free from
obstructions.
b. Open the Transon Clamp Screws on the bracket
enough so that it will fit over the top of the boat
transom.
c. Place the Mounting Bracket over the top of the boat
transom so that the bracket is resting on top of the
transom.
d. Verify that there are no obstacles that the control
box, handle, or prop might hit while in use, or when
stowed, that would restrict steering or cause damage
to the motor.
e. Tighten down the Transom Clamp Screws to the
transom by hand only. Do not use any tools to
tighten the clamp screws as this may damage the
bracket or your boat.
CAUTION
Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.
Damage to the bracket will prevent the motor from being
securely mounted to the transom. Prevent damage to the
bracket by not over-tightening it. Only tighten by hand.
f. We recommend the tilt angle of the motor to be
adjusted so that the motor shaft is perpendicular to
the water surface when the motor is in use.
g. For transport, always tilt the motor into the
boat, such that the motor and prop assembly
are completely out of the water and the motor is
positioned up close to the Mounting Bracket.
When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it is important to place the motor completely out of water. The motor should
be positioned up close to the Mounting Bracket. Always secure the Steering Tension Knob and slide the Quick Release Depth Collar
down to the top of the Steering Tension Knob for added security during transport. This provides a secure stow and holds the motor
in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to secure the motor may result in injury
or damage to the unit.
