g. Ensure that the Rod End of the Lift Assist Cylinder
is aligned correctly. There is one Mounting Hole on
each side of the Yoke. Ensure the Yoke is rotated far
enough upward so that the Mounting Hole is above
the Sideplates.
h. The Mounting Hole on the Rod End of the Lift Assist
Cylinder should sit inside the Yoke. Once aligned,
use a 1/4" Socket Wrench to reinstall the two Hex
Head Flange Screws that held the previous Gas
Spring in place. Tighten to 14 in-lbs. After the
Screws are fully installed, the Rod End of the Lift
Assist Cylinder is installed to the Yoke.
If the Hex Head Flange Screws (Part
NOTICE:

ordered online at minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com.
Minn Kota recommends applying blue thread

locker to the Hex Head Flange Screws before reinstalling.
Reinstall the Steering Module
Replace the Steering Module before connecting the Lift Assist Cylinder to ensure that the weight from the Steering Module and
Humminbird accessories is dispersed when the Lift Assist Cylinder installation is complete. The Lift Assist Cylinder can become damaged
when moving the Mount, and the damage will prevent the Lift Assist feature from operating correctly. Make sure that the Lift Assist
Cylinder does not get damaged when positioning the Mount.

a. To reassemble the Steering Module, start with the
Mount in the deployed position. Take care when
positioning the Mount into the deployed position
so that the Lift Assist Cylinder does not get damaged. A
damaged Lift Assist Cylinder will not function properly.
b. Align the Keyways on the inside of the Steering
Module with the End Links on the Mount. Do this by
positioning the Steering Module above the End Links
on the Mount. Lower the Steering Module straight
down until seated.

c. Reinstall the 5/16" Allen Screw and Lock Washer
with a 1/4" Allen Wrench and tighten to 18 to
20 ft-lbs with a Torque Wrench.
The 5/16" Allen Screws must be tightened
NOTICE:
when installed and periodically tightened to 18 to 20
ft-lbs. Tighten the Allen Screws when the Mount is in the
deployed position.
