Dad had one of those. If I remember right with the motor centered you put two or three wraps of cable around the centre of the spool on the back of the wheel.

what..just till everything is tightned up?

I wish I could find a diagram online. You tighten after everything is threaded.

I hate to say anything online as it is hard to describe and can be disastrous if it comes undone out on the lake at top speed. So be very careful and get someone to help if you have any doubts at all.:scared:
