3. Drill the mounting holes with a 7 mm (1/4 in.) diameter drill bit.

6. Place the mount bracket on the isolators and align the holes.
Install the two long screws into the front mounting holes and
the two short screws into the rear mounting holes. Tighten all
of the mounting screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver.
Do not tighten the mounting screws with an electric driver.
IMPORTANT: The bracket must lay flush against the isolators
before being bolted to the deck or the mount will bind, making it
difficult or impossible to unlatch.
7. When the bracket is installed, it should fasten securely and
evenly with the latch pins and release with a light, quick, pull
of the rope handle.
Foot Pedal Permanent Installation
NOTE: It is not necessary to permanently mount the foot pedal to
operate the trolling motor.
1. Select an appropriate area on the deck of the boat to install
the foot pedal.
2. Place the foot pedal on the surface of the boat deck. Use the
foot pedal as a template to mark the locations of the mounting
holes on the boat deck.
