MINN KOTA ULTERRA User manual

Ulterra Installation Guide
Installation Instructions:
1. Remove the four sideplate screws. Remove sideplates to access the mounting holes. (Figure 1)
2. Remove the two 5/16” e-clips retaining the extension damper. Remove the extension damper to expose the front left
mounting hole. (Figure 2)
3. Place the motor on the bow of the boat. It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat
as possible. Make sure the slot on the underside of the mounting base is aligned with the rubrail of the boat. This will ensure
that the shaft has a minimum clearance of 1-1/2” when it is deployed. (Figure 3 & 4)
4. Once the motor is positioned, mark at minimum, four of the six holes that are located farthest apart (at least two on each
side). Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes and install nuts and washers. Drill through the
marked holes using a 5/16” drill bit.
5. Mount the motor to the boat using the provided hardware. Install the hex head bolts and clipped washers on the right side of
the motor as viewed from the boat interior. (Figure 5) Motor can then be slid into place utilizing the slots on the motor base
plate. Clipped washer should be oriented with the flat portion against the mounting base. (Figure 6)
