MOUNT FEATURES

Become familiar with the features of the motor to maximize the capabilities this product offers.
Lower Unit
Rope Stow Slot
• The motor Mount is designed to fold back and lock the motor flat on the deck when not in use and to provide secure stowage
for transport.
• The Pull Grip and Rope releases the lock bar, which automatically engages when the unit is lowered or raised into position. The Pull
Grip and Rope should be used to both lower and raise the unit.
• The Motor Rest positions the Lower Unit as it comes in contact with the nose of the mount and guides it onto the Motor Rest.
• The Yoke captures the Motor Shaft and keeps the Lower Unit centered on the Motor Rest.
• The Hold Down Strap must be used to place pressure on the
motor shaft to hold the lower unit tightly against the motor
rest when stowed.
• The Pull Grip and Rope can be stored by placing the Pull
Grip into the rope stow slot on the control box of the motor.
WARNING
The Fortrex is not intended to be a primary propulsion
motor. Heavy use of the motor can cause elevated motor
temperatures, which can be increased by an excessively hot
operating environment. Use care when handling the Control
Head and Foot Pedal to avoid burns or injuries from excessive
heat. In the event that the motor or speed control would break,
always be prepared to take manual control of the boat.
