To install the stabilizer, you will need the following tools:

A 9/16 in (14 mm) wrench or socket. A 3/16 in hex bit or wrench. A torque wrench. A hacksaw or similar cutting tool (optional, for adjusting the length of the stabilizer rod).

Yes, it is strongly recommended to install the stabilizer to reduce the risk of damage to the electric motor mount and the vessel, especially when operating in difficult conditions or towing.

No, you must use only manual tools to install all stabilizer parts. Using power tools can damage the components.

To correctly position the bracket, the motor must be in the stowed position. The folded side of the bracket must face the motor's steering system housing. You can place the bracket on the port or starboard side of the motor's steering housing.

After correctly positioning the bracket, the bolts must be tightened to a torque of 20 lbf-ft (27 N-m) using a torque wrench.

To install the stabilizer rod:

Place the rod into the mount. Place the bumper cap onto the lower end of the rod. Apply light pressure to the top of the rod. Use a 3/16-inch hex bit or wrench to tighten the bolts and secure the rod in the mount. Test the clearance and support by moving the motor between stowed and deployed positions, and repeat adjustment as needed for smooth movement and adequate support. It is important to apply only light downward pressure when installing the rod.

Yes, adjusting the stabilizer rod's height is optional. You can remove excess length from the upper part of the rod using a hacksaw or similar cutting tool, after testing the installation for clearance and support.

The stabilizer comes with two caps, including a notched top cap. This notched cap is designed to hold your electric motor's pull cord when not in use. You must select the cap with the groove that best matches the thickness of your pull cord.

It is crucial to apply only slight downward pressure when installing the stabilizer rod. If the rod is installed with too much pressure, it might be difficult to properly engage the motor latch in the stowed position, which could lead to accidental deployment.
