c. Align the Keyways on the inside of the Bowguard
with the End Links on the Mount. Lower the motor
assembly straight down until seated.
d. Install the 5/16" Allen Screw and the Lock Washer
and tighten to 10-12 ft/lbs.
WARNING
Carefully lower the Bowguard into place to avoid creating a
pinch point between the Bowguard and Mount.
NOTICE:
The 5/16" Allen Screw must be tight
when installed and periodically tightened to 10-
12 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 Bowguard
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.
