e. With the Yoke rotated, access and remove the two
Hex Head Flange Screws holding the Rod End of
the Gas Spring to the Yoke. One screw is located on
each side of the Yoke. Use a 1/4" Socket Wrench to
loosen and remove the Screws. Set the Screws aside
for reassembly with the new Lift Assist Cylinder.
f. With the screws removed, the Gas Spring will be
uninstalled from the Yoke and Outer Arm. To remove
the Gas Spring from inside the Outer Arm, hold the
loose Gas Spring with one hand and rotate the Yoke
back toward the Boat Deck with the other hand.
Rotating the Yoke clears the opening in the
Outer Arm.

g. Slide the Gas Spring down toward the Boat Deck and
out of the Outer Arm. Keep the Mount open. Retain
the Gas Spring for re-installation if the Humminbird
MEGA 360 Imaging and MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock
are removed from the trolling motor. With the original
Gas Spring removed, the Mount is ready for the
installation of the new Lift Assist Cylinder.
Retain the original Gas Spring. If the

Humminbird MEGA 360 Imaging and MEGA Live
Imaging TargetLock are removed from the trolling motor,
it is necessary to reinstall the original Gas Spring.

The Rod End of the Lift Assist Cylinder should be installed before replacing the Steering Module. Installing the Rod End of the Lift Assist
Cylinder to the Yoke when the Steering Module is not present allows maximum mobility of the Mount during installation.

a. Use the help of a second person to hold the Mount
in place. Ensure the Mount is open and the Outer
Arm is nearly perpendicular to the base of the Mount
attached to the Boat Deck. The Yoke should be
rotated down toward the Boat Deck.
b. Install the Lift Assist Cylinder by securing the end
of the Gas Spring with the Bracket to the inside of
the Outer Arm. Secure the opposite Rod End of the
Gas Spring to the Yoke. To assemble the Lift Assist
Cylinder, feed it into the Outer Arm.
c. Check the position of the Yoke and rotate it towards
the Boat Deck. Rotating the Yoke down provides
access to insert the Lift Assist Cylinder into the
Outer Arm.
