    How can I get these parts for clamp when installing 360 imagining?

    I am installing the AS 360 TM on my Fortrex trolling motor. There are two inserts that are suppose to go inside the trolling motor clamp. I don't know if these are even necessary. I bought this item used from Humminbird pro staffer and he does not have these two pieces available. I called Humminbird and they want to sell me a whole new 360 mount which is $299 dollars. Does anyone know where I could possibly get these two inserts and screw. Thanks for the help.

    On the other hand, I may not have this... Does this come with the 360 mount?

    Read the warning concerning using that clamp.
    When you clamp the 360 to the motor upper shaft you don't want that shaft to be able to rotate. It has a keyway on one of the blocks that fits in the shaft groove to prevent it.
    When the motor is stowed, wave/wake/road shock can make the shaft rotate from your installation position.

    There is a similar one for the Ultrex that goes under the bow guard as a height limit for raising the motor too high and the motor damaging the pod. Page 22 in the manual.

    So, are you saying I do need to use these or not. I am mounting to a Fortex. I have read the AS 360 TM installation manual and do not see the "Warning". I don't think my upper shaft can turn anyway because there is a groove in the lock clamp that want let it turn. I am just trying to make sure I do this right.

    Yes, it is suppose to come with the 360 mount. I am mounting to a Fortrex though.

    Where did the manual page picture of the clamp come from? The warning is right above the words "Installing the Inserts" where the triangle with exclamation point is.
    It's page 32 in the most recent manual I have that covers both the Fortrex and Ultrex motors.

    If your height adjustment clamp already has the key block, you don't need it.

    What is this part? Is this the inserts or a whole mount?
