You must not route the power cable through the left (port) side of the mount, and it is not possible to install the included brackets on the left (port) side. The left (port) side is reserved for additional accessories or transducer cables that you may install in the future. 1 Measure approximately 40 cm (16 in.) on the power cable from where it connects to the steering servo housing, and look for the mark on the cable applied at the factory. 2 If you do not see a mark on the cable, or if the mark is not approximately 40 cm (16 in.) from the connection, make a mark with a marker or tape. 3 With the motor in the deployed position, route the transducer cable through the channel along the right (starboard) side of the mount . TIP: To determine the right (starboard) side of the mount, stand in a location where you can read the information on the display panel. 4 Route the power cable through the channel above the transducer cable. 12 5 Using the pull cable, carefully lift the motor from the deployed position to the stowed position. CAUTION Because only one of the lift-assist gas springs is secured at this point in the installation, you must use caution when lifting the motor to the stowed position. The weight of the motor may cause the mount to move quickly and pinch or crush hands or fingers. NOTICE You must secure the cables to the mount with the motor in the stowed position. If you complete this procedure with the motor in the deployed position, the cables are not at their fully extended length, and the added stress may damage the cables during use. 6 Leaving a rounded bend in the cables , hold them against the side of the mount where they enter the channel. 7 At the marked location on the power cable, place one of the brackets that have two screw holes over the cables and against the mount, aligning the holes on the bracket with the holes on the mount. 8 Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, secure the bracket to the mount using two screws. 9 Hold the cables against the bottom of the mount where they exit the channel. 10 Place the other bracket that has two screw holes over the cables and against the mount, aligning the holes on the bracket with the holes on the mount. 11 Using a 3 mm hex bit or wrench, secure the bracket to the mount using two screws. 12 Hold the cables against the plastic portion of the mount base, close to the boat deck. 13 Insert the lower tab on the remaining bracket into a slot below the cables , and rotate the bracket toward the mount base to hold the cables. 14 Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, secure the upper tab of the bracket to the mount base using a single screw. 15 Install additional plastic cable clips to secure the transducer cable to the power cable where needed (optional). 13 Securing the Lower Gas Spring Label identifying the parts bag required for this procedure: NOTE: This procedure uses the rest of the hardware in the parts bag that you used when installing the upper gas spring. 1 If necessary, transition the trolling motor from the deployed to the stowed position. If the gas spring is positioned on the other side of the mount after you stowed the motor, you may need to lift up the mount and flip over the gas spring so you can secure it to the mount. 2 Align the hole on the base of the lower gas spring with the safety rod , and press down. CAUTION If you must rotate the gas spring so the base aligns with the mount, rotate the spring in a clockwise direction only. Rotating the gas spring in a counter-clockwise direction may loosen the fittings, potentially leading to a premature failure of the gas spring, which could lead to personal injury or property damage while stowing or deploying the motor. 3 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the base of the lower gas spring to the mount using the included screws . 14 Installing the Propeller The parts bag containing the hardware needed for this procedure is included in the box with the high efficiency propeller and does not have a label. This product is packaged with a high efficiency propeller and a weedless propeller. You should choose the propeller that best suits your fishing. The high efficiency propeller is quieter and provides more thrust. The weedless propeller is designed to help prevent weeds from wrapping around the propeller and the shaft. 1 Insert the pin through the propeller motor shaft. 2 If necessary, rotate the motor shaft to orient the pin horizontally so it is less likely to fall out during installation. 3 Align the channel on the inside of the propeller with the pin, and slide the propeller onto the motor shaft. 4 Place the anode , washer , lock washer , and nut onto the end of the motor shaft. 5 Using a 9/16 in.
