Tilt Lock Lever

The Tilt Lock Lever is located at the base of the mount opposite of the Lower Unit. The Tilt Lock Lever is used to unlatch the Steering
Housing from the stowed position so the motor can be tilted, pulled upwards and stowed.
Mount Ramp
The Mount Ramp functions to hold the Lower Unit in place when the motor is stowed. The Lower Unit will rest on the Mount Ramp
when stowed, helping to secure it in place.
When the motor is being transported, it is important to place the Depth Collar snug against the Steering Housing and tighten. This
provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration.
Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR

To Deploy the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar, then push firmly down on the Deploy-
Assist Lever to release the Latch Collar and slide the motor
forward, out from the Mount Ramp. Lower the motor to the desired
depth. Make sure it clicks into a secure, vertical position. Once
at the desired depth, slide the Depth Collar against the Steering
Housing and tighten.
To Stow the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar and depress the Tilt Lock Lever and raise the motor by pulling up on the composite shaft or control head.
Pull the motor toward the stern until it rests securely on the Mount Ramp and the Deploy-Assist Lever captures the Latch Collar.
Slide the Depth Collar down and secure it against the top of the Steering Housing to secure the motor in place and prevent
accidental deployment.

Push-To-Test Battery Meter

This motor is equipped with a Push-to-Test Battery Meter. The LED
lights are located on the Indicator Panel on the Mount of the motor.
The Battery Meter provides an accurate display of the remaining
charge in the battery. It is only accurate when the motor is off. The
meter reads as follows:
• One light indicates recharge.
• Two lights indicate low charge.
• Three lights indicate good charge.
• Four lights indicate full charge.
MOTOR ADjUSTMENTS

Adjusting the Depth of the Motor

Once the boat is on the water, it may be necessary to adjust the Lower Unit up or down to achieve an optimum depth for motor
performance. When setting the depth of the motor, be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12" below the surface of the water
to avoid churning or agitation of surface water.
