INSTALLING BRACKET

1. Cut out the template an the end of this installation manual.. At the location you’ve

selected, tape the template to the transom. Make sure the black dotted line on the

template is aligned with the transom’s bottom edge, as shown.

2. Using a #28 or 9/64 in. bit, drill two 7/8 in. (22 mm) deep where indicated on the template.

To prevent drilling too deeply, wrap masking tape around the drill 7/81 (22 mm) from the

point.

NOTE: In fiberglass hulls, first chamfer the gelcoat using a 1/4 in. (6mm) drill and drilling

about 1/16 in. (15 mm) deep to prevent surface cracks.

3. To prevent water seepage into the transom, apply a marine sealant (such as RTV) to

the two #10 screws provided. Using the washers provided, attach and tighten the brack-

et to the hull making sure the bracket is flush with the underside of the hull.

4. Fill any gap between the housing and the transom with a caulking material, as shown.

Using a putty knife, smooth the surface to ensure proper water flow.
