4.2 SETTING UP YOUR STEERING
Kayaks feature many dierent cable routing
systems, while some more basic models have
no cable routing. To add cable routing to your
particular boat, contact the boat manufacturer
for recommendations.
Kayak cable routing can generally be broken
down into two categories: cables routed above
the deck of the kayak, and cables routed below
the deck of the kayak.
Cables routed above deck will usually demand
the steering triangle be mounted at the top of
the shaft.
This mount is designed to work with high routing
setups on kayaks equipped with integrated cable
routing.
For kayaks with cable routing requiring you to
use the high position, see section Setup with
Control Cords at the Top on page 14.
In some cases, further tweaks may be required
to refine the operation.
4.2.1 SETUP WITH CONTROL CORDS AT THE
TOP
If you have a kayak setup with control cords
running on the top of the kayak, follow the steps
below to finish the motor control cords setup:
1. Assemble the swing arm and steering
triangle as shown above, then insert the
screw, washer, and nut as shown and attach
loosely- don’t tighten yet.
2. Place the screw, washer and nut on the
clamping ring as figure shows, connect them
loosely and don’t tighten yet.

with the direction of the motor. If the triangle
is an arrow, it should point towards the front
of the boat, while the propeller should face
back.
4. Tighten the screws on the clamping ring and
the steering triangle.
In this setup, the steering triangle determines
the depth of the motor. Make sure the propeller
can be at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the water
surface.
4.2.2 ADJUSTNG MOTOR DEPTH OF WATER
AFTER SETUP
1. Hold the motor firmly and loosen the screw
on either the clamping ring or the steering
triangle, whichever is topmost on the shaft
in your set up.
2. Adjust shaft position to find the optimum
motor depth in water.
3. Tighten the screws on the clamping ring or
the steering triangle (whichever you have on
the top of the shaft).
