INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Congratulations you have just purchased one of the finest outboard motor brackets available
today. With proper installation and care, this motor bracket will provide you with years of
trouble free use and performance.
Please take a few moments to review the information contained in the instructions to
familiarize yourself with the installation procedures suggested to successfully mount your new
motor bracket. Installation is easy particularly when you know each step ahead of time.
BRACKET POSITION
Position the outboard motor bracket on the transom of the boat on either the starboard or port
side. Care should be exercised to make sure that the bracket will not interfere with the
movement of the existing engine or a rudder. The height of the bracket should be positioned so
that the engines cavitation plate is parallel to the bottom of the boat and 2” below the waterline.
While standing on either side of the boat, sight down the boat bottom and compare with the
plane of the cavitation plate
MOUNTING THE BRACKET TO THE BOAT
Place the assembled bracket on the desired location of your transom. Check to make sure there
are no obstructions on the inside of the transom. Hold the bracket in place. Make certain that
the bracket is level with the transom. Mark at least two (2) upper and two (2) lower hole
locations using the assembled bracket as a template. Drill out the marks you just made using a
proper size drill bit. Attach bracket to boat using appropriate length bolts, nuts, and washers.
Tighten securely.
HANGING THE MOTOR
Lift your motor on to the bracket. Position the motor over the polypropylene board under the
motor clamp handles and against the lip of the bracket. Tighten securely.
