ADJUSTING THE TILT/EXTEND TILLER

Your trolling motor features 7 usable handle tilt positions: 45°, 30°, and 15° up and
down from the 0° (horizontal) position. To use the down positions, you must fi rst press
the release button located on the left underside of the pivot handle.
Your trolling motor handle also features a unique stow
position, that is useful for limiting the amount of space
required for storage or travel.
First press the release button located on the left
underside of the pivot handle, then push the handle
down until you feel the handle "lock in" to the stowed
position. This will be almost parallel to the motor shaft.
To extend the handle, pull the handle towards you to the desired position.
The handle will extend a full 6 inches. To retract, push the handle in until it
meets the face of the motor control head.
Important: The motor must be in the off position to use the stow position! Failure to put the motor in the off
position before stowing the handle will result in joint failure.
