Installation

Installation is a straight forward process that is basically nine easy steps and requires only standard tools.

  • Once the old engine is removed, clean the engine compartment and bilge. This is a good time to give the old engine compartment a coat of new paint. Since there is no more fuel or oil, you can expect it to stay clean and odor free
  • Install and secure the batteries. This is the most time consuming step. The most common location is under quarter berths adjacent to the engine compartment and in the engine compartment itself
  • Install battery chargers, battery fuse and master power switch
  • Mount the throttle quadrant and battery monitor in the cockpit. Run their cables into the engine compartment
  • Slide the motor/controller assembly into the engine compartment
  • Adjust the mounting feet to line it up with the prop shaft
  • Slide the coupling on the prop shaft, tighten the clamp
  • Secure the mounting feet to the engine rails with stainless steel lag bolts
  • Connect the battery cables and you’re done!
