ANCHOR MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Minn Kota recommends mounting the Raptor directly to the transom of the boat with the built-in Mounting
Bracket. Your Raptor comes complete with all the necessary hardware to mount directly to the transom. The
Raptor may also be mounted using an optional adapter bracket when direct transom mounting is not possible or
desired due to obstructions or irregularly shaped transoms. For more information on universal adapter brackets and
other Minn Kota®Raptor accessories, please visit minnkotamotors.com. When using an adapter bracket to mount
the Raptor, please use the instructions included with the accessory.
In order to use the direct mount installation, the following conditions need to be met:
1. Unobstructed Mounting - When selecting the Raptor Mounting Bracket mounting location, examine your boat
to ensure that you will not drill into any obstructions and that the hardware will be accessible for assembly. Make
sure that the Transom is strong enough to accept the Raptor mounted at the intended location.
2. Unobstructed Deployment and Retraction - The Raptor is designed to mount on either the port or starboard side
of the transom. The Raptor must have a clear, unobstructed path to deploy. Check to make sure that your proposed
location will allow the anchor to deploy and retract without hitting trim tabs, poling platforms, ladders, the engine
or other obstructions. You should also consider your fishing methods when selecting the mounting location.

NOTICE: In some instances, boat manufactures have
begun to make hollow boat Transoms. We recommend
speaking to your local boat dealer or OEM Manufacturer
for mounting recommendations.
3. Transom to Raptor Clearance - The Raptor Mounting Bracket
included with your unit will allow for approximately 4" of
clearance or set back from the transom to the front edge of the
deploying anchor.
4. Raptor to Hull Clearance - The bottom edge of the Raptor
should never be less than 4" above the hull directly below the
Raptor to prevent spray and drag conditions.
5. Raptor to Engine Clearance - When selecting a mounting
location, make sure that no interference exists between the
Raptor and your engine during normal operation. Once you have
selected your mounting location, trim the engine all the way
up and all the way down, and steer the engine fully to the left
and right to confirm proper engine clearance. Ensure there is a
minimum of two to three inches of clearance from any point on
the Raptor in all states of stow and deploy.
If these conditions are not met, please consider using an optional
Minn Kota adapter bracket accessory. There are many adapter
brackets designed for the Raptor that allow for greater adjustability of the mount and allow for greater clearances to operate the Raptor.
Please visit minnkotamotors.com to learn more about selecting and installing an adapter bracket.
Review the mounting considerations for the hydraulic pump and hose routing before installing the anchor to the boat.

HYDRAULIC PUMP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
1. Hydraulic Hose Routing - The hydraulic hoses exit the anchor near the top of the built-in mounting bracket and will be routed to the
hydraulic pump. When selecting the mounting location for the hydraulic pump, examine your boat to ensure that you can route hydraulic
hoses to the intended hydraulic pump mounting location, and the hoses can be connected once the pump is mounted. Hoses may be
routed over or through the hull of the boat. It is recommended to route hoses through an established routing on the boat, such as where
the main engine lines are routed. If routing through an established routing on the boat such as the manufacturer's boot, ect, make sure
they are re-rigged and tightened to their original state when installation is complete. If drilling holes in the hull of the boat is necessary,
make sure that the drilled location is free from obstructions that could damage existing gas or electrical lines. Make sure that the hoses
have enough slack so that the anchor can be deployed and stowed without creating pinch points or excessive tightness along the path
for the intended mounting locations. Make sure that the hoses do not pass over any sharp surfaces or edges that could cause abrasions
over time. Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are not kinked or bent when routing through the boat compartment. The minimum bend
radius for hose routings is 1.25 inches. Hydraulic lines shall be routed away from heat sources. There shall be no joints or connections in
hydraulic lines directly over exhaust lines or high temperature manifolds. Make sure that the routed hoses do not create a tripping hazard.
2. Keep Hydraulic Lines Clean - During installation, precautions must be taken to prevent the entrance of foreign material into
components or hydraulic lines. Take note of the black and green caps on the hose fittings on the hydraulic pump and hydraulic hoses.
Do not prematurely remove the protective caps from the ends of the hydraulic hoses that exit the anchor or the hose fittings on the
pump assembly. Keep the fill cap on the pump reservoir in place unless filling the reservoir, to keep dirt and debris from entering.
3. Hose Attachment - Install the pump in a way so that there is space between the compartment or mounting locations and the pump to
attach hoses. The hose fittings are located on the manifold of the hydraulic pump between the pump reservoir and control panel. Also
be sure that the location will have room to allow the hoses to pass through and maintain proper hose placement that will prevent it from
bending or kinking.
Hydraulic Pump Mounting Considerations
Minn Kota recommends reviewing all mounting considerations for the hydraulic pump and hose routing for the Raptor to ensure that all
circumstances are taken into account before installation.
In order to successfully route the hydraulic hoses and mount the hydraulic pump, please consider the following:

HYDRAULIC PUMP MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
4. Hydraulic Fluid and Filling Access - Make sure that the mounting location allows for the pump to be filled with hydraulic fluid. The cap
to the pump assembly must be accessible to fill the hydraulic pump reservoir with hydraulic fluid. Be sure that the installation location
allows access with a funnel or similar tool to aide in filling the reservoir. The pump is filled with fluid as noted on the red cap marked "Hyd
Oil ISO 32". Biodegradable Marine Hydraulic Fluid ISO 32 (Item# 2357700) is provided for the installation.
5. Secured Mounting - Mount the pump in a secure location where it will remain affixed to a rigid surface. Hydraulic components shall be
secured to the boat's structure in consideration of the potential forces transmitted. It is recommended to mount the hydraulic pump with
the Two-piece Mounting Bracket provided. The Pump Assembly must be mounted vertically. If adjustments to the mounting need to be
made, adjust the position of the Two-piece Bracket that will accommodate keeping the Pump Assembly vertical. Make sure that there is
enough room to successfully use the tools needed to secure the installation hardware to the intended mounting location. Make sure that
the hydraulic hoses will not be kinked or bent when attached to the pump. Options for mounting the pump include:
a. Standard Installation - Mounting the pump with the
Two-piece Mounting Bracket.
b. Modified Installation - Mounting the pump using either both
of the pieces from the Two-piece Mounting Bracket rotated to
fit your specific mounting needs or just the Pump Mounting
Bracket (Item #20) on its own rotated to fit your specific
mounting needs.
c. Direct Mounting - Mounting the Hydraulic Pump directly to
a secure structure on the boat without the use of the bracket.

6. Power Source - Make sure that the power cord can reach its
intended power source and will not pose as a tripping hazard. It
is recommended to mount the pump as close to the power source
as possible to create the least obtrusive routing for cables between
the pump and power source.
7. Bypass Access - On the side of the hydraulic pump manifold,
there are two acorn nuts that cover manual Bypass Valves in the
event of the need to Emergency Stow. The installation kit comes
with a Pressure Wrench (Item #2358800). Be sure that the
installation location allows a minimum of 1-1/2 inch clearance
around the "BP" on the pump manifold to access these acorn nuts
and the Bypass Valves below them and enough space to utilize the
Pressure Wrench. Store the pressure wrench in the boat.
8. Reservoir Clearance - When selecting the mounting location,
it may be necessary to rotate the position of the reservoir on the
hydraulic pump to accommodate for tight mounting locations. The
hydraulic pump comes out of the box with the reservoir fill cap
directly below the hydraulic hose fittings on the pump manifold.
The reservoir can be rotated 90 degrees to either the right or the
left so that the fill cap is either directly below the power cord, or
directly below the bypass valves on the manifold to accommodate a variety of installation variability. If you need to rotate your Pump
Reservoir, please see the "Rotating the Pump Reservoir" section of these instructions.
NOTICE: The orientation of the Reservoir on the pump
may affect how the Two-piece Mounting Bracket is used.
WARNING
Do not run the Hydraulic Pump until after hydraulic fluid has been added. Running the Hydraulic Pump without hydraulic fluid can
damage the pump.

d. The U-shaped Slots on the Mounting Bracket allow
for adjustability between the Pump and the mounting
bracket. Take both Hex Head Cap Screws (Item #16)
and place one 3/8" Belleville Washer (Item #12) on
each. The Hex Head Cap Screws will hold the Pump
in place along the U-shaped slots. Insert the bolts with
the washers in place so that they are partially installed
into the Mounting Holes on the Pump. The washers
should sit on the outside of the Mounting Bracket,
farthest from the Pump Assembly on the screws.
Hand tighten or use a 9/16" Wrench just until the
bolts are placed. It may be easier to first install the
screws and washers partially and then lower the Pump
Assembly to fit in the U-shaped slot on the brackets,
making sure the washer is closest to the screw head.
e. Once partially installed, check the mounting location
and determine the final position of the Pump
Assembly and mounting bracket at the intended
mounting location.
f. Once positioned, take a pen or similar marking
tool and mark the Mounting Surface where the
Reinforcing Bracket and Pump Bracket overlap at the
Mounting Hole on each side of the Pump Reservoir.
Also mark the bottom holes on the Pump Bracket. It
is recommended to mark all four Mounting Holes in
the Mounting Bracket.
g. Set the Pump Assembly aside and use a Drill with a
1/8" Drill Bit to drill Mounting Holes in the Mounting
Surface at the marked locations.
NOTICE: When drilling holes, especially into
fiberglass, it is helpful to first cover the surface with
masking tape. Use a 5/32" Drill Bit when drilling
into Fiberglass for the Pilot Holes. Masking Tape will
help keep the boat surface unmarked and help with
cleanup. Cover the surface and then mark the location
to drill. Once the pilot holes are drilled, remove the
masking tape before continuing installation.

NOTICE: The U-shaped slots and the larger holes on the
Pump Bracket may be used to mount the Pump Assembly
to the bracket. The holes used will depend on individual
mounting circumstances.

l. With the Two-Piece Mounting Bracket fully installed,
replace the Pump Assembly on the Mounting Bracket.
Make sure that the Belleville Washers sit between
the head of the screw and the Mounting Bracket. The
Pump Assembly is secured to the mounting bracket
by tightening the Hex Head Cap Screws that were
previously put in place on the Manifold.
m. Slide the Pump Assembly either up or down in the
U-shaped slots to find the position that works best
for your installation. When satisfied with the position,
tighten the hardware with a 9/16" Wrench to 12 ft-lbs.
n. Take the Pressure Wrench (Item #26) and store it in
a secure location on the boat. The Pressure Wrench is
only needed if pressure in the hydraulic system needs
to be manually relieved. To learn more, please refer to
the Owner's Manual.

INSTALLING HYDRAULIC HOSES
Installing Hydraulic Hoses
Review the Mounting Considerations at the beginning of installation and then locate the Hydraulic Hoses attached to the Raptor. There
will be a green Cap on one hose, designated as the hose controlling the UP/retract function. The hose with the black cap is designated
for the DOWN/deploy function. The hose with the black cap (DOWN) extends further from the Raptor due to its mounting position within
the Raptor. Determine if hydraulic hoses may be routed through an established route on the boat to the Hydraulic Pump. The Hydraulic Hoses
are 15 feet in length. If longer hoses are needed for your installation, Minn Kota recommends the Raptor Hydraulic Hose Extension Kit
2771401. If holes need to be drilled to provide a suitable routing for the installation location of the connected components, please give
consideration to the following:
1. Above Water Line - If drilling holes to route the Hydraulic Hoses through the Hull, Transom, or other appropriate structure of the boat, make
sure that the holes drilled are above the water line when the boat sits in water.
2. Minimum Clearance - It is recommended to place the holes a minimum of 1 inch from any obstruction to allow for complete installation of the
Grommet. This may include structural changes to the selected location such as seams or structural supports and the presence of any existing
hardware such as ladders, brackets and existing accessories.
3. Hole Spacing - Two separate holes will need to be drilled for the Hydraulic Hoses. There is a rubber Grommet on each hose. The intention
is to use the Grommet to cover the space between the hose and the transom where the holes are drilled. To allows space for the hoses and a
proper seal on the Grommet, drill the holes between 1-1/2 and 2 inches apart.

WARNING
• Only use hydraulic hose approved by Johnson Outdoors with the Raptor. The use of unapproved hydraulic components may cause
damage, unexpected operation, or injury.
• Do not allow hoses to kink, twist, curl, be crushed or bent in a manner that blocks or reduces the flow of fluid within the hose. The
minimum bend radius for the hydraulic hoses is 1.25 inches.
• Do not overtighten hydraulic connections.
