Box Includes:

1- Lock Nut
2- Motor Mount Brackets

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Tools needed:  Drill, 1/4" drill bit, 5/6" drill bit, 7/16 socket and 7/16 wrench, measuring tape, hacksaw, safety glasses and gloves


Step 1 - Install the Trailer Mount.

Measure to the center of the trailer; Using the trailer mount bracket as a guide and a 1/4" drill bit, drill through the top hole and attach the trailer mount bracket with a bolt. With the bracket still attached, drill through the bottom hole and insert the second bolt and tighten both bolts.


Step 2 - Install the Motor Mount Bracket:
Use the Extra nut provided


Step 3 - Measure the Tube

Place one end of the tube into the trailer mounting bracket and attach with a lock pin. With the motor in "travel lock" position, measure and mark the tube at the middle point of the motor mount bracket. 
     NOTE: sometimes cutting the tube up to 1/4" longer helps to put a little "tension" on the swivel which will help to keep the motor aligned while in the travel position 

Step 4 - Cut the Tube and Drill a New Hole

Using a hacksaw, or circular saw, or band saw cut the tube where marked. Place the tube in the trailer mounting bracket with lock pin and align with the holes in the motor mount bracket. Using the motor mount bracket's holes as a guide, drill a new hole in the tube. 

Step 5 - Lower the Motor

Connect the tube to the motor mount bracket with the second lock pin. Unlock the travel lock device and lower the motor trim down until it fully rests upon the transom saver.

WARNING - Be sure to disconnect both ends of the transom saver when unloading your boat
