INSTALLING THE RIPTIDE ULTERRA
i. Make sure the slot on the underside of the Base
Extrusion is aligned with the outermost part of
the gunwale of the boat. This will ensure that the
Shaft has a minimum clearance of 1-1/2" when it is
deployed. The lower unit when stowed and deployed
must not encounter any obstructions.
j. Check to be sure that the Motor Mount is level. Use
the Rubber Washers (Item #7) provided to create a
level surface if necessary.
Bow
k. It is recommended to mark at least 4 of the 6 holes
in the Base Extrusion to have a minimum of two
bolts on each side that are located the farthest
apart. Ideal installation would allow for 6 bolts to
be used, with a minimum of 4.
l. 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 9/32" drill bit.

CAUTION
Failure to allow 1-1/2" of clearance of the Shaft when mounting
may cause failures when the motor stows and deploys. Follow
recommended mounting considerations to avoid obstructions
when operating the motor.
