Purchased a used SG2100 motor of of ebay because my old one started having motor issues. The Latitude and Elevation scales on the sides of the mount are worn off!!! Where do I place an inclinometer on the motor to determine I have it set to the correct latitude? The motor itself or the crank arm that the Dish mounts to the motor?

If possible, on the motor housing: the base where the crank arm comes out of.
But it might be difficult, to put an inclinometer on that?

Alternatively, on the crank arm (while it is at zero-position, of course). The arm of a SG2100 usually has a bend of 30 degrees, if dispointer.com is right, so you have to take that angle into account as an extra angle, while setting the motor latitude.
