HYdRAULIC PUMP MOUNTING CONSIdERATIONS
Hydraulic Pump Mounting Considerations
Minn Kota recommends reviewing all mounting considerations for the hydraulic pump and hose routing for the Raptor to ensure that all
circumstances are taken into account before installation.
In order to successfully route the hydraulic hoses and mount the hydraulic pump, please consider the following:
1. Hydraulic Hose Routing - The hydraulic hoses exit the anchor near the top of the built-in mounting bracket and will be routed to the
hydraulic pump. When selecting the mounting location for the hydraulic pump, examine your boat to ensure that you can route hydraulic
hoses to the intended hydraulic pump mounting location, and the hoses can be connected once the pump is mounted. Hoses may be
routed over or through the hull of the boat. It is recommended to route hoses through an established routing on the boat, such as where
the main engine lines are routed. If routing through an established routing on the boat such as the manufacturer's boot, ect, make sure
they are re-rigged and tightened to their original state when installation is complete. If drilling holes in the hull of the boat is necessary,
make sure that the drilled location is free from obstructions that could damage existing gas or electrical lines. Make sure that the hoses
have enough slack so that the anchor can be deployed and stowed without creating pinch points or excessive tightness along the path
for the intended mounting locations. Make sure that the hoses do not pass over any sharp surfaces or edges that could cause abrasions
over time. Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are not kinked or bent when routing through the boat compartment. The minimum bend
radius for hose routings is 1.25 inches. Hydraulic lines shall be routed away from heat sources. There shall be no joints or connections in
hydraulic lines directly over exhaust lines or high temperature manifolds. Make sure that the routed hoses do not create a tripping hazard.

2. Keep Hydraulic Lines Clean - During installation, precautions must be taken to prevent the entrance of foreign material into
components or hydraulic lines. Take note of the black and green caps on the hose fittings on the hydraulic pump and hydraulic hoses.
Do not prematurely remove the protective caps from the ends of the hydraulic hoses that exit the anchor or the hose fittings on the
pump assembly. Keep the fill cap on the pump reservoir in place unless filling the reservoir, to keep dirt and debris from entering.
3. Hose Attachment - Install the pump in a way so that there is space between the compartment or mounting locations and the pump to
attach hoses. The hose fittings are located on the manifold of the hydraulic pump between the pump reservoir and control panel. Also
be sure that the location will have room to allow the hoses to pass through and maintain proper hose placement that will prevent it from
bending or kinking.
