e. Reinstall the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
and tighten to 18 to 20 ft-lbs with a Torque Wrench.
NOTICE:
The 5/16" Allen Screw must be tightened
when installed and periodically tightened to 18 to 20
ft-lbs. This will allow the motor to be stowed properly.
Tighten the Allen Screw when the Mount is in the
deployed position.
Installing the Bow-Mount
During installation, it is recommended to mount the motor to the boat before installing the Gas Spring Pin. The Gas Spring Pin is
installed in the Gas Spring Cylinder. The Gas Spring Cylinder is located on the inside of the Outer Arm, which is a part of the Mount.
At this point in the installation, the Gas Spring Cylinder is not fully installed and may move around inside the Mount when stowing and
deploying the motor. The Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged while deploying the motor and the damage will prevent the Lift-
Assist feature from operating correctly once fully assembled. Make sure that the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged in the Mount.

ITEM(S) NEEDED
a. Review the mounting considerations at the beginning
of the Installation section for proper placement.
Place the Mount as close to the centerline or keel of
the boat as possible, with the motor in the stowed
position, on the deck of the boat. Check placement
with the motor in the stowed and deployed positions.
CAUTION
The Gas Spring Cylinder can become damaged in the Mount
while stowing or deploying the motor because it is not yet
fully installed. Damage will prevent the Lift-Assist feature
from operating correctly once fully assembled. Make sure
that the Gas Spring Cylinder does not get damaged by
keeping it inside the Outer Arm of the Mount.
b. Place the Hold-Down Strap (Item #20) under the
base of the Mount Plate so that it is below the
Mount when placed.
