ITEM(S) NEEDED
#2 x 6
NOTE:
The mounting surface for Bottom Plate
must be completely flat. Washers must be used
to shim the Bottom Plate flat before hardware
is tightened. The top Plate will not fit correctly
unless the Bottom Plate is installed completely
flat. To prevent seizing of the stainless steel
hardware, do not use high speed installation tools.
Wetting the screws or applying an anti-seize may
help prevent seizing.
u. Put a 1/4-20 X 2" Flat Head Screw (Item #2) in
each of the six drilled locations. The bolt should
pass through the Bottom Plate and the boat
deck. Make sure to secure the motor with bolts
on each side of the Bottom Plate.
v. Place a Flat Washer (Item #8) and then a Nylock
Nut (Item #6) at the end of each bolt as shown
and tighten with the 7/16" Box End Wrench.
Make sure all hardware is secure.
