MINN KOTA RAPTOR Mode D'emploi page 21

a. Locate the Hydraulic Hoses that exit the Raptor,
and note the Grommet on each hose. If the
Hydraulic Hoses are tie wrapped in a circle, it may
be necessary to carefully cut the tie wrap with a
scissors or similar cutting tool and unwrap the hoses.
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.
CAUTION
Do not remove the black and green Caps from the end
of the Hydraulic Hoses until instructed to do so. Keeping
the Caps in place until needed will keep the hydraulic
lines clean. Dirt in the hydraulic fluid may affect
hydraulic operation.

b. Review the installation considerations for the hoses
at the beginning of this section. Select, measure and
mark the location on the boat that will be drilled for
routing the Hydraulic Hoses using a measuring tool
and a pen or similar marking tool.
c. Make sure that the drilled location is clear to drill
holes and pull the Hydraulic Hoses aside so they
do not pose an obstruction and to clear the marked
location. Using a Drill with a 5/16" Drill Bit, drill Pilot
Holes through the Marked Locations.
NOTICE:
When drilling holes into fiberglass, it is helpful to first cover the surface with masking tape. Use a 5/16" Drill
Bit when drilling into Fiberglass for the Pilot Holes. Masking Tape will help keep the boat surface unmarked and help with
cleanup. Cover the surface and then mark the location to drill. Once the pilot holes are drilled, remove the masking tape
before continuing installation.

d. Once the Pilot Holes are drilled, use a Drill with a 3/4"
Drill Bit in each 5/16" Pilot Hole. The final holes for
hose routing should have a diameter of 3/4" each.
e. Use a file, sand paper or an emery board to smooth
the edge of the drilled hole, to smooth the edges, that
contact the Hydraulic Hoses and make placement of
the Grommets easier.
