Insert the carriage bolts from underside of base plate up through the holes in handles. Place the washer and nut on the carriage bolt and tighten finger tight…Once nuts have bottomed out back off a 1/4 turn, Note: On Honda motors the slots in the base plate may not align with the holes in the handles, not to worry the carriage bolts and nuts are not required for the lock to perform.

Tips to Selecting the Correct Lock
1. Measure width of cap screw handles on your outboard motor, See Fig A. in diagram below. Our narrow handle lock NH 750-8 TSP fits Yamaha 8 & 9.9 Horsepower trolling motors with cap screw handles measuring up to 3⁄4” wide maximum. Our wide handle lock WH 875-8 TSP fits Honda & Mercury 8 & 9.9 horse trolling motors with cap screw handles measuring between 7/8” to 1-1/8” wide. When ordering a lock a wide handle lock you must specify Honda or Mercury.
2. Measure outside and inside distances between both cap screws, the inside minimum measurement between the two cap screws is 4-3/4” the outside max width measurement typically from the heel of both cap screw handles is 7-3/8” for Mercury & Yamaha and 7-5/8" wide for Honda. If your cap screws and handles don’t fall inside these parameters chances are the lock won’t fit your outboard motor without some custom modifications.
3. You have now determined which lock is going to work for your application, now you need to check the distance between the face of the motor swivel leg and heel of cap screw handle, See Fig B. you will need a minimum of 9/16” of exposed thread, If you don’t have the 9/16” of exposed thread you will need to install the transom spacer plate, included with lock assembly.

completely retracted.
Step 3
Step 5
Step 2
Slide the motor off to one side of the circles marked on the transom, if you have a floor jack place it under the skag on the motor and lift the motor about a 1/8” off the transom. (this will
make it easier to move the motor around)
Step 4
Step 5
Step 5
Mark the center of each circle on the transom, drill a 5/16” hole about an 1/8” above center of each circle. Figure 2 does not show this, it is recommended so that the plate does not end up
being mounted to low on the transom.
Step 5
Step 5
Step 5
Slip the extension plate up under the caps keeping the thickest part of the plate to the top, place the carriage bolts into the slots on the extension plate and run them into the holes you just drilled in the transom. (Figure 3)
Step 6
Step 6
Step 6
Center the transom plate between the 2 carriage bolts and place a piece of tape in the center of the plate to hold in place against transom.
(Figure 4)
Step 7
Step 6
Step 6
Slide the motor into place, the caps should cover the heads on the carriage bolts, tighten the cap screw handles until they touch the plate leaving them somewhat loose, remove tape and
release the pressure on the floor jack if you have one in place.
(Figure 5)
Step 8
Step 6
Step 8
Tighten the cap screw handles until good and snug, place a straight edge under the handles making sure they are level and the two holes are side by side.

Now it’s time to install your lock.
This picture illustrates the locking mechanism being inserted into the lock from the top side, you can also see a spacer plate resting against the transom, this is the transom extension plate, it may be needed to get the proper spacing between the cap screw handles and the motor base leg.
Your looking at the lock mounted to the motor, this also shows the transom extension plate mounted against the transom.
