Mounting Bracket

Damage to the bracket will prevent the motor from being

securely mounted to the transom. Prevent damage to the

bracket by not over-tightening it. Only tighten by hand.

WARNING

When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it is important to place the motor completely out of water. The motor should

be positioned up close to the Mounting Bracket. Always secure the Steering Tension Knob and slide the Quick Release Depth Collar

down to the top of the Steering Tension Knob for added security during transport. This provides a secure stow and holds the motor

in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to secure the motor may result in injury

or damage to the unit.
