When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.

• You must install the motor on the bow of your boat.
• It is recommended to install the motor on the port side of the bow, but you can install it on the starboard side if necessary.
• You should install the mount so the deployed motor is as close to the center of the boat ☑ as possible.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with curved base and labeled point (1), no readable text or symbols present.

- You must install the mount with the bumper overhanging the gunwale of the boat.

• The motor secures to the deck of the boat using bolts, so you must have room to secure the mount from the underside using washers and nuts.
• The motor must have clearance to move from the deployed to the stowed position and back again, so the installation location must be clear of obstacles.

Parts Bags

The installation hardware for the trolling motor is included in numbered bags. As you complete the installation process, each procedure begins with a reference to the parts bag needed to complete the procedure. You can use this table to review or verify the parts bags needed for the installation procedures.

5 If you do not plan to secure the foot pedal to the bottom of the tray, place the pedal into the tray to complete the installation.
6 If you plan to secure the foot pedal to the bottom of the tray, trim and place the included mounting template in the tray.
7 Using an appropriate drill bit for the tray material and the mounting hardware, drill the pilot holes indicated on the template, and remove the template.

8 Apply marine sealant to the pilot holes to prevent water from entering the boat deck.
9 Secure the foot pedal (and shim, if necessary) to the tray using the mounting hardware.

Fabricating a Permanent Shim

If you are installing the foot pedal in a tray and you would like to raise the height, you should fabricate a permanent shim to install under the pedal.

1 Purchase a suitable shim material, such as marine grade PVC, of the appropriate thickness for your installation.
2 Trace the shape of the tray on the shim material or a piece of paper.
3 Cut the shim from the material.
4 Place the shim into the tray to check the fit, and trim the edges as needed.
5 Locate the drain hole in the tray, mark the location of the hole on the shim, and drill a hole through the shim to allow water to drain properly.

Adjusting the Tension

You can adjust the tension on the foot pedal if it moves too easily or not easily enough.

1 Locate the tension adjustment screw ① on the left side of the foot pedal.

2 Select an action:

• Turn the screw clockwise to increase the tension.
• Turn the screw counterclockwise to decrease the tension.

3 Test the foot pedal, and repeat the previous step until the foot pedal moves like you want it to.

This procedure is best performed with the motor halfway between the stowed and deployed positions. When in this position, the motor is not secured, so you should support the motor and use extreme caution to avoid pinching or crushing hands or fingers.

1 Place the motor between the stowed and deployed positions so the base is oriented vertically and you can access both locking mechanisms ①

2 Support the weight of the motor so it cannot fall and crush your hands or fingers.
3 Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from all of the locking mechanism channels.

4 Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the locking mechanisms and the channels.
5 Pull and release the pull cable a number of times to move the mechanisms in the channels and distribute the grease.
6 If necessary, apply additional grease and repeat the previous step.
7 Clean any debris, dirt, and build up from the latch receivers ② on the front of the mount base.

8 Apply a silicone lubricating grease to the upper surface of the latch receivers on the front of the mount base, so the locking mechanisms slide smoothly into the receivers.

9 Repeat the previous two steps for the latch receivers on the back of the mount base ④

10 Return the motor to the stowed or deployed position.

Lubricating the Hinges and Bushings

There are a number of hinges and bushings that allow the motor to transition smoothly from the stowed to deployed position and back again. You should lubricate these areas as needed.

1 Locate the four primary hinge points ①

2 Apply a non-stick, dry-film lubricant to each hinge point, in the space between the moving parts ② and allow it to dry according to the instructions provided with the product.

3 Move the motor from the stowed to the deployed position and back a number of times to distribute the lubricant.
4 If necessary, apply additional lubricant and repeat the previous step.
