INSTALLING HYdRAULIC HOSES
Installing Hydraulic Hoses
Review the Mounting Considerations at the beginning of installation and then locate the Hydraulic Hoses attached to the Raptor. There
will be a green Cap on one hose, designated as the hose controlling the UP/retract function. The hose with the black cap is designated
for the DOWN/deploy function. The hose with the black cap (DOWN) extends further from the Raptor due to its mounting position within
the Raptor. Determine if hydraulic hoses may be routed through an established route on the boat to the Hydraulic Pump. The Hydraulic Hoses
are 15 feet in length. If longer hoses are needed for your installation, Minn Kota recommends the Raptor Hydraulic Hose Extension Kit
2771401. If holes need to be drilled to provide a suitable routing for the installation location of the connected components, please give
consideration to the following:
1. Above Water Line - If drilling holes to route the Hydraulic Hoses through the Hull, Transom, or other appropriate structure of the boat, make
sure that the holes drilled are above the water line when the boat sits in water.
2. Minimum Clearance - It is recommended to place the holes a minimum of 1 inch from any obstruction to allow for complete installation of the
Grommet. This may include structural changes to the selected location such as seams or structural supports and the presence of any existing
hardware such as ladders, brackets and existing accessories.
3. Hole Spacing - Two separate holes will need to be drilled for the Hydraulic Hoses. There is a rubber Grommet on each hose. The intention
is to use the Grommet to cover the space between the hose and the transom where the holes are drilled. To allows space for the hoses and a
proper seal on the Grommet, drill the holes between 1-1/2 and 2 inches apart.

• Only use hydraulic hose approved by Johnson Outdoors with the Raptor. The use of unapproved hydraulic components may cause
damage, unexpected operation, or injury.
• Do not allow hoses to kink, twist, curl, be crushed or bent in a manner that blocks or reduces the flow of fluid within the hose. The
minimum bend radius for the hydraulic hoses is 1.25 inches.
• Do not overtighten hydraulic connections.
