ADJUSTING THE BRACKET
You can lock your motor in a vertical position, angle it for shallow water or tilt it
completely out of the water.
1. Firmly grasp the control head of the motor. (Do not lift up on the motor for
angular adjustment)
2. Press down and hold the Tilt Lock Button.
3. Tilt the motor forward or back to the desired position within the
mounting bracket.
4. Release the Tilt Lock Button and ensure the motor is locked into the
desired position.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
When setting the depth be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12" to
avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The propeller must be completely
submerged.
1. Firmly grasp the motor shaft and hold it steady.
2. Loosen steering tension knob.
3. Open the lever arm to loosen the Quick Release Depth Collar.
4. Vertically adjust the height of the motor to the desired position.
5. Bring the depth collar to the top of the steering tension knob, and close the
lever arm to lock the depth collar into position.
6. Tighten the steering tension knob to achieve the desired steering resistance.
NOTE: The tension of the quick release depth collar can be adjusted with a screw
driver to obtain the proper feel.
CAUTION:
• Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
• Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.
ADJUSTING THE STEERING
• Adjust the steering tension knob to provide enough tension to allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in any position without
being held
• Tighten the knob to place the motor in a preset position to leave your hands free for fi shing.
