If installing the motor with an MKA-56/RTA-55, align
the Outer Plate so it is square with the Reinforcement
Plate. The Outer Plate of the MKA-56/RTA-55 is the
same size as the Reinforcement Plate and should
create a flush surface when properly aligned. If
desired, the Outer Plate can also be set 1" further
outboard on the Reinforcement Plate to provide
additional motor clearance.
The Outer Plate is used to align the motor for
NOTICE:
checking clearances but will not be mounted to the
Reinforcement Plate. Only the Inner Plate of the MKA-56/
RTA-55 will be attached to the Reinforcement Plate.

Ensure that the Handle Assembly (Part #2770916)
will not encounter any obstructions on the bow of
the boat and can be pulled entirely out to release the
Bracket when mounted. Ensure that the motor will
not encounter any obstructions when positioning the
motor on and off the Bracket. Review the mounting
considerations from the manual included with the
MKA-56/RTA-55.
