Take the two 1/4-20 X 1.50-inch Socket Head Cap
Screws (Item #10), each with a Jam Nut (Item #8)
in place. Slide both plates to align the holes in the
Top Plate and Bottom Plate. Apply anti-seize to all
hardware. Install each 1/4-20 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap
Screw with the Jam Nut in place into the plates using
a 3/16" Allen Wrench. Tighten the Allen Wrench turning
clockwise until there is no movement between the
plates. Tighten an additional quarter turn past tight.
Once the 1/4-20 X 1.50 Socket Head Cap Screws are
tight, take a 7/16" Open End or Box End Wrench and
tighten the Jam Nut. Make sure all hardware is secure.

a.
Take the Top Plate (Item #2) and align the Mounting
Holes on the plate with the Mounting Holes on the
trolling motor Mount. The Mounting Holes closest
to the short edge of the Top Plate should face
Outboard. The Mounting Holes furthest from the
short edge on the Top Plate are the closest to the
Hold-Down Strap Recess and should face Inboard.
Place the Hold-Down Strap (if included with
NOTICE:
your motor) between the motor Mount and the Top Plate.
For full function, install the Hold-Down Strap between
the middle pair and most-inboard pair of Mounting Holes
in the Hold-Down Strap Recess.
b.
Test the placement of the Hold-Down Strap to be
sure it can hold the Mount as placed. The position of
the buckle on the Hold-Down Strap, either inboard
or outboard, is based on personal preference. The
hook and loop should face downward for the Hold-
Down Strap to function correctly. Take six 1/4-20
x 7/8" Phillips Pan Head Screws (Item #14) and six
Nylock Nuts (Item #18). Apply anti-seize (Item #28)
to all hardware. Install the Screws so that they pass
through the Mount and then the Top Plate. Secure
each Screw below the Top Plate with a Nylock Nut.
Hold each Nylock Nut with a 7/16" Open End or Box
End Wrench and tighten each Screw using a #3
Screwdriver to fasten the Mount to the Top Plate.
Make sure all hardware is secure.
