MOUNTING CONSIdERATIONS
Anchor Mounting Considerations
Minn Kota recommends mounting the Raptor directly to the transom of the boat with the built-in Mounting
Bracket. Your Raptor comes complete with all the necessary hardware to mount directly to the transom. The
Raptor may also be mounted using an optional adapter bracket when direct transom mounting is not possible or
desired due to obstructions or irregularly shaped transoms. For more information on universal adapter brackets and
other Minn Kota Raptor accessories, please visit minnkotamotors.com. When using an adapter bracket to mount
®
the Raptor, please use the instructions included with the accessory.
In order to use the direct mount installation, the following conditions need to be met:
1. Unobstructed Mounting - When selecting the Raptor Mounting Bracket mounting location, examine your boat
to ensure that you will not drill into any obstructions and that the hardware will be accessible for assembly. Make
sure that the Transom is strong enough to accept the Raptor mounted at the intended location.
2. Unobstructed Deployment and Retraction - The Raptor is designed to mount on either the port or starboard side
of the transom. The Raptor must have a clear, unobstructed path to deploy. Check to make sure that your proposed
location will allow the anchor to deploy and retract without hitting trim tabs, poling platforms, ladders, the engine
or other obstructions. You should also consider your fishing methods when selecting the mounting location.

Follow all instructions and heed all safety considerations. Minn Kota recommends having a second person help with installation.
Not following proper installation and rigging instructions may result in injury. Mounting the Raptor too low can cause undue drag
from the Raptor or Mounting Bracket when operating the boat. It is important to mount the Raptor as recommended to avoid unsafe
driving conditions.
