Assembly of Kit-  The 2HP/3HP is a bit harder to assemble than the 6.5HP because of the tank removal and throttle hookup assembly-

Parts included in Kit:

• -Coupler Assembly with Grease Zerk Fitting- we don't use wing nuts because you should always carry a crescent wrench to change props.(helps keep you from forgetting it)  However, we send extra bolts in the kit that have wing nuts(can be used with the transom or with coupler) We also have a 3rd bolt that goes through the outer shaft- this is a precaution in case the two bolts on top aren't tight.
• -Safety Kill Switch And Eye Bolt to Mount it- we use a high quality kill switch with thick hard plastic that lasts a long time in the sun - also has a button that enables you to cut the engine off without reaching down to the engine or pulling the lanyard loose
• -ANGLED/BENT Handle w/ NEW SQUEEZE TYPE Throttle Control and Cable- Galvanized - Allows you to stand up or sit down when running the motor- (we offer straight handles by request also) Squeeze Throttle is spring loaded and has plenty of play to go from idle to full throttle. - You can adjust the height of the handle by tilting it left or right.  Most jon boats have a rear seat that gets in the way of maneuvering the motor with a straight handle.  We suggest getting a bent handle- If you don't like it, buy a piece of pipe at the hardware store for a straight handle.  Most people like the adjustable bent handle.

• -65" or 85" Galvanized Heavy Duty Shaft-  Three grease fittings - We Don't Use Wood Bushings like others.  We only use High Grade Polymer and Metal Alloy Bushings.  Our end bushing is a metal alloy because weeds and fishing lines can easily burn up a plastic end bushing.  Some companies offer upgraded shafts and bushings for an extra price but all of our shafts are heavy duty and designed for a variety of environments including saltwater. 

• -we recommend an 85in shaft for most jon boats.  Select a 65in shaft for small layout type boats and kayaks

• -Engine and Throttle Handle Bracket- Heavy Duty Thick Steel with Bushings and Grease Fittings- Option for right or left hand steering- We use heavy duty tubes with large bolts to secure the handles to the engine bracket unlike our competition that uses two small separate brackets with

• -THREE Aluminum Surface Piercing Props- 5in/5.5in/5in weedless for 2-3HP  OR  6.5in/7in/6in weedless props for 4-7HP

• -Wiring Harness - It is "Plug and Play" and makes it very easy to wire the kill switch.
• -Transom Bracket
• -All hardware needed for assembly except the engine
