SE-Sport-400-Installation-Instructions
The SE Sport 400™ hydrofoil requires specific modifications for drill-free installation on cavitation plates of 8” width. For Mercury 40, 50, and 60 FourStrokes with a 6.5" plate width, pilot holes are provided for drilling with a 1/4" drill bit. Honda 200 and Yamaha 350 models with 7.25" wide plates may need slight hole expansion. Evinrude models in the 200-300 range may also require drilling adjustments.
Drill-Free Installation:
The SE Sport 400™ includes all necessary hardware for installation, such as Disk-Grips™, rubber washers, bolts, washers, adhesive strips, and lock nuts. The installation process involves cleaning the cavitation plate, placing adhesive strips, and assembling the Disk-Grips™ with washers and nuts. Tightening should be done slowly using an alternating torque pattern.
Conventional Drill Assembly:
If drilling is preferred, mark and drill the four inside holes using a 1/4" drill bit. Install using the same hardware without Disk-Grips™ and rubber washers.
Maintenance and Safety Checks:
Regularly check for weathering of rubber washers and Disk-Grip™ tightness. Re-tension if necessary. A safety check is recommended before and after the first use.
Recommendations:
The SE Sport 400™ is not recommended for Volvos with exhaust through the cavitation plate; the SE Sport 300™ is suggested instead. Video installation guides are available online at sesport.com.

The SE Sport 300TM is recommended. HIGH PERFORMANCE HYDROFOIL Installation Adjustments: Cavitation plates of 8” width require SE Sport 400TM modification for Drill-FreeTM installation. Contact Sport Marine Tech or www.sesport.com for special written instructions and photos for this size. *The Mercury 40HP, 50HP and 60HP FourStrokes have a 6.5" plate width at the rear disk mount position. Pilot holes are provided to guide drilling the Sport 400™ with a 1/4" drill bit to fit these motors. Use the standard 6" hole position for the forward Disk-Grip™ mounts. *The Honda 200HP and Yamaha 350HP have larger 7.25" wide plates. To mount to these cavitation plates, you may need to slightly expand the outside holes outward with a small round rasp or 1/4" drill. *Various Evinrude 200HP- 300HP range models may require drilling the 6.5" pilot hole, and expanding the forward outside holes for the best fit. Measure for the closest hole pattern before installation. *Conventional Drill Assembly: If you prefer to drill your cavitation plate, set the Sport 400TM in the desired position, and mark the four inside holes with a center punch. Drill the four inside hole placements, using a 1/4" drill bit. Install using the same hardware without the Disk-Grips™ and rubber washers (or optionally, choose to drill the rear two holes and use two Disk-GripsTM forward) Video Installation also online at sesport.com Video Online SPORT MARINE TECHNOLOGIES NMMA 2014 SPORT MARINE TECHNOLOG
