Warning: The following instructions contain important safety information and should be followed carefully. Failure to do so may result in injury and will void warranty.
Please read complete instructions before starting application!
Tools and materials list
- Electric drill
- Wire crimper/cutter
- Tape measure
- 3/32", 3/16" & 3/8" drill bits
(.24 cm, .48 cm, .95 cm) - 7/16" (1.11 cm) wrench
- Small hammer
- 4-ft. (1.22 m) level/straight edge
- 3M 5200 adhesive caulking
- 2" (5.8 cm) hole saw
- #2 & #3 Phillips screwdrivers
- 3M silicon marine sealer
1. Begin by deciding where the Lenco Drive Kit will mount.
Note: When mounting Lenco Drive, hold hinge to transom 1/2" (1.27 cm) from bottom of transom, and approximately 2" (5.08 cm) or more in from the chine, level with the waterline. (The wider they are mounted the better they will operate.)
2. Using a 3/16" (.47 cm) drill bit, drill hinge holes to a depth of 1-1/4" (3.17 cm). Note: When drilling drive and bracket holes, you may drill through the transom, the screws will seal the holes when inserted. All screws and fasteners are stainless steel. Do not use any other type of metal. We recommend using 3M 5200 Adhesive Caulking to bed the hinges and screws.
3. Mount the hinge to boat using 1-1/4" (3.17 cm) stainless steel metal screws.
4. Attach upper mounting bracket to top of actuator using the 5/16" (.79 cm) nut and bolt provided. Ensure actuator is fully retracted before proceeding to next step!
5. Lift the Lenco Drive up and allow the actuator to fall naturally on the transom, ensure that there is at least 1" (2.54 cm) of clearance from transom to Lenco Drive, and mark outer drill holes. Remove bracket and use as template for marking the rest of the holes.
6. Drill bracket holes in transom using 3/16" (.48 cm) drill bit to a depth of 2-1/2" (6.35 cm).
7. Warning: With some applications. fuel, water tanks or other systems may prevent actuator wire from entering the hull through the upper mounting bracket. Be sure to check inside before drilling 3/8" (.95 cm) wire hole. If you cannot drill through bracket see “Special Note #1”.

8. If all is clear, use the center lower bracket hole as a guide mark and drill a 3/8" (.95 cm) hole in transom. Drill completely through the transom.
9. Reattach bracket to actuator with provided 5/16" (.79 cm) nut and bolt.
10. Pass actuator cable through the transom, remove slack on cable into hole and seal with 3M 5200 Adhesive Caulking. Do not strain cable while pulling. If you are prevented from drilling through bracket see “Special Note #1”.
11. Mount bracket using three 2-1/2" (6.35 cm) stainless steel sheet metal screws. We recommend using 3M 5200 Adhesive Caulking to bed the hinges and screws.
12. At the helm, find a good location for the rocker switch. Lay out template and cut out rectangle for switch.
13. Following the switch wiring diagram, pull the actuator cable to the switch. Be careful of sharp edges that may damage the cable. Connect wiring according to the diagram.
14. With the Lenco Drives operating as described, you are ready to wire the trolling motors, batteries and control box. First, select a place to mount control box and terminal strip. Be sure to mount the control box with the wires facing down toward the deck.
15. Next, run trolling motor leads to the terminal strip. You may run leads through the splash well drains on either side of the engine, then in to rigging hatch with other engine/steering control cables. If splash well drains are not an option see “Special Note #1”.
16. Attach trolling motor wires to terminal strip according to wiring diagram provided.
17. When wiring batteries to control box, use a minimum of #6 AGW wire. Also note we suggest that the
24-volt power lead be fused near the positive battery terminal. The fuse in the system is a 60-amp maxi fuse. Warning: Use of fuses larger then 60 AMPS could result in damage to system and will void warranty. For replacement fuse, check your local auto parts retailer or call Lenco Marine, Inc. for assistance.
18. To install trolling motor propellers, insert pin in motor shaft, place prop on shaft and line up back of prop with shear pin. Use nylon prop nut to secure prop to motor. Drive two #4 screws into each prop nut to secure. Warning: Failure to secure prop nut with screws will result in lost props when reversing.
SPECIAL NOTE #1: If drilling a hole at the appointed location is not an option, you may drill the appropriate sized hole 4" (1.22 m) to 5" (12.7 cm) above the water line and insert cable. Cover hole and cable with a clamshell vent sealed with clear caulking or 3M 5200 for a waterproof and finished effect.
