INSTALLING THE RIPTIDE ULTERRA
It is recommended that the motor be mounted as close to the keel or centerline of the
boat as possible. Make sure the area under the mounting location is clear to drill holes
and install nuts and washers. Make sure the motor rest is positioned far enough beyond
the edge of the boat. The motor must not encounter any obstructions as it is lowered into
the water or raised into the boat when stowed and deployed. Consider a quick release or
adapter bracket with the installation of your motor. To view a list of accessories, please visit

a. Place the Motor on an elevated, level surface such
as a workbench or the tailgate of a pickup. The
motor, as removed from the box, should be in the
stowed position.
b. Remove the four sideplate screws using a #3 or #2
Phillips screwdriver. Two of these screws will be
located on each side of the Motor Mount.
c. Remove the Right Sideplate to access the
Mounting Slots.
d. Remove the Left Sideplate to access the
Mounting Holes.
NOTICE: This motor weighs approximately 70 lbs.
We recommend having a second person help with
the installation.
