For Terrova QUEST and Riptide Terrova QUEST
motors: the center mounting hole on either side of
the Base Extrusion is blocked by a Spring. One end
of each Spring must be disconnected in order to
access the mounting holes.
f. To disconnect the Spring, take a Needle-nose Pliers
and carefully grab the hooked end on the top half of
the Spring. Unhook it from the hole in the Side Rail
by pulling up. Guide it towards the bottom half of the
Spring still attached to the Base Extrusion and gently
set it down. Do not disconnect the end of the Spring
that is wrapped around a bolt. Unhook both Springs.
CAUTION
When maneuvering each Spring, carefully handle the Spring
to avoid bending it. Do not grab the body of the Spring to
avoid pinching between the spring coils. Always grab by the
hooked end.

g. Set the Reinforcement Plate (Item #2) on the bow
of the boat, with the recessed mounting holes
facing up. Position the Plate so that the bow-shaped
mounting hole pattern points outboard.
h. With the help of a second person, place the motor
on top of the Reinforcement Plate. Keep the motor
and Plate together when determining a mounting
location. The motor must be properly aligned with
the Plate to ensure accurate measurements.
