INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Refer to Figures 1 and 2

Measure the distance on your outboard motor between the cavitation plate and the upper inside edge
of the transom clamp. Add the total travel distance of your model bracket from the table in figure 1.
Then subtract 2 inches.

(Measure clamp to cavitation plate) add (bracket’s vertical travel) subtract 2” = _________

Cut a stick to this length and tape it to the center of the bracket board so that the stick and board are
flush at the top edge of the board as shown in figure 2.

Refer to Figure 3

Choose the most appropriate side of your transom for
installing the bracket. Position your bracket so it won’t
interfere with the turning operation of your primary
motor, rudder, or anything else installed on your boat’s
transom.

Power Boats – Position the outboard motor bracket on
the transom with the mounting flanges flat against the
transom. Position the bracket so the bottom of the stick
is one inch above the boat’s bottom.

Refer to Figure 4

Sailboats - Position the outboard motor bracket on the
transom with the mounting flanges flat against the
transom. Position the bracket so the bottom of the stick
is even with the boat’s waterline.

Refer to Figure 5

Alter the bracket has been properly
positioned, mark the upper and lower bolt­hole locations using the bracket as a template
on your transom. Drill the four marked holes
with a 3/8" drill bit, making sure to hold the
drill at right angles to the transom.

Refer to Figure 6

Check the angle of the transom on your boat
and determine it the motor to be used can be
trimmed so the cavitation plate is parallel to
the waterline. lf not make a wedge shaped
spacer out of suitable material.
