INSTALLATION OF THE RIPTIDE ST:
We recommend that you have another person help with this procedure. Tools required: 7/16” wrench, #3 phillips screw-
driver and electric drill with a 9/32” bit.
1. Remove the four sideplate screws. Remove the right
sideplate and swing the left sideplate out and away from the base extrusion.
2. Place the motor on the bow of the boat in the deployed position:
• We recommend that the motor be mounted as close to the centerline of the boat as possible.
• Make sure the bow area under the mounting location is clear and unobstructed for drilling and accessible for you
to attach the nuts and washers.
• Make sure the mount is positioned so that the shaft is out beyond the rub strip of the boat by 1 1/2”. The lower
unit, as it is lowered into the water or raised into the boat, must not encounter any obstructions.
3. Once in position, mark four of the six holes provided in the bow mount base for drilling. If possible, use the four holes
that are farthest apart. Drill through the marked holes using a the 9/32” drill bit.
4. Mount the plate to the bow using the provided bolts, nuts and washers.
5. Replace the sideplates and sideplate screws.
