are heavy. Minn Kota recommends having a second
person help with the installation.
a. Place the Quick Release Bracket (Assembly #A) on
a level surface with the recess for the Hold-Down
Strap facing upwards.
b. Locate the two ¼-20 x 1.50-inch Socket Head Cap
Screws along the side of the plates. Each Socket
Head Cap Screw holds a Jam Nut. Using a 3/16" Allen
Wrench, loosen and remove the two Screws
in a counter-clockwise direction. Keep the Jam
Nuts in place.
c. Set the two ¼-20 x 1.50-inch Socket Head Cap
Screws aside for reassembly later and separate the
Top Plate from the Bottom Plate by lifting the Top
Plate directly up. Notice the location of the Spring
Pin on the Bottom Plate. Later, when the plates are
installed to each other, the Spring Pin should
be placed Outboard.
