STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
WARNING:
When raising or lowering the motor, keep fi ngers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts.
MOUNT FEATURES
• The motor mount is designed to fold back and lock the motor fl at 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.
TO DEPLOY THE MOTOR
Simply pull back and lift the motor off of the mount with the pull grip and rope. Lower the motor into the water using the pull grip
and rope. The motor will lock into the deployed position automatically.
TO STOW THE MOTOR
Pull back and lift the motor out of the water with the pull grip and rope. Lower the motor lower unit onto the motor rest using the
pull grip and rope. The motor will lock into the stowed position automatically. Wrap the hold-down strap over top of the motor
shaft to secure the motor.
