Gator Isolator Sleeve
Upgrade
6. Place the motor shaft into the bracket and then close and tighten the bracket
door (Figure 5). To prevent cross threading, ensure that the bolt handle threads
are aligned with the nut when you close the door.
CAUTION
The shaft on the bracket door knob must be at least 3 ½ inches long. If your door knob
shaft is not this length, part number MBK08202T will be required. Replace the plastic
washer between the knob and the bracket door with the new stainless steel washer,
apply grease as needed
Figure 5
CAUTION
The isolator sleeve will not float. Use caution when adjusting the motor shaft length over the water.
NOTE:
The new isolators have not been “broken in” and are very stiff. Once the isolator has been “broken in”, through use of the
trolling motor, the door will become easier to close. To aid in installation be sure to follow the instructions.
NOTE:
To adjust the height of the motor, the trolling motor must be out of the water and in the stow position. To release the
tension on the trolling motor shaft, elevate the head of the motor and mount
approximately 12 to 18 inches. Open the bracket door and reposition the shaft to the
desired position. Follow step five above to close the bracket door.
