Instructions
Tools needed for an installation:
Battery drill with different drill bits. 2.5mm – 3.5mm – 5mm – 12mm drill bit. 6mm threading loss. Small flat screwdriver. Tools for electrical work and general hand tools. Polyurethan sealant is suitable for under saltwater use.
- STEP 1 :
- Find a good location for the motor. It’s important that the motor can make free water flow out from the propeller.
- Make sure there are no obstacles on the inside so you don’t hit any wires or tubes.
- STEP 2 :
- Once you have found a good location use the motor bracket, mark the 2 holes for the 6mm mounting bolts.
- Make sure the bracket is mounted the same way as in the piture, a square point on the bracket pointing out.
- The bracket you use for marking the holes must be used on the same side.
- STEP 3 :
- Drill holes for the motor bracket, use 5mm drill bit, then use the 6mm threading loss and make treads in the holes
- STEP 4:
- Making holes for cable clamp and cable inlet.
- Plan where you want the cable clamps and the cable inlet.
- NOTE !! The cable inlet must always be over the water line.
- STEP 5:
- Drill holes for screws for cable clamp 3,5mm. Cable inlet cover 2,5mm. Hole for motor cable 12-13mm.
- Remove antifouling where the sealant will be. Note !! The hole for the cable must be angled down so the motor cable will lay flat into the transom.
- STEP 6:
- Mounting motor bracket, cable clamp, and cable inlet cover.
- Ad sealant under the bracket, bolt holes, and cable clamp hole,
- Mount the motor bracket with 2pcs 6x70mm bolt, since the holes have treads you must screw the bolt in.
- Tighten bolts well, but not too hard so you damage the treads and bracket.
- STEP 7:
- Mounting motor and cable inlet.
- Mount the motor on the bracket. Put the cable into the cable hole.
- Ad sealant on the hole for the cable clamp and around the motor cable. Mount the cable clamp with screw 4,8x19mm
- Ad sealant on the hole for the cable cover. Before you mount the cable cover have extra sealant on the cable and push
- the cable in and flat against the transom. Mount the cover with 3pcs 3,5x16mm screws.
- Step 8
- Ad zink anode
- Before mounting zink anode ad marine grease in the screw hole on the motor and on the screw.
