The mounting height and location along with how thick the transom needs to be and a wiring diagram.

Wiring diagram is the same as trim pumps, blue (sky) up, green (grass down). all transoms should be pretty much the same thickness.
your biggest variable is if you want to mount them horizontal or mount them parallel to the bottom. and that is not really covered in any instructions and is more relative to whatever boat you are putting them on.


And DONT 5200 them on,,,,,,

95% are mounted parallel to the bottom. Mount them 3/4"-1" above the bottom.

It actually should be opposite on the tabs. The high pressure side = blue = down for tabs

With you on the 5200 however I will say West Marine has a product called Debonder that is magic.
