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.
1
a. With the motor in the deployed position, locate
the Depth Collar on the Shaft above the Lift
Assist Housing.
b. While holding the Shaft, loosen the Depth Collar
Knob until the Shaft can slide up and down freely.
WARNING
The Control Head will create a pinch point if the Depth Collar
Knob is loosened and the Control Head slides to the top of the
Depth Collar. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from sliding all the
way down to prevent the pinch point.

c. Raise or lower the motor to the desired depth.
d. Turn the motor Control Head to the desired
position.
e. Slide the Depth Collar against the Steering
Housing and tighten the Depth Collar Knob to
secure the motor in place.
NOTE: 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.
WARNING
The Lift Assist Housing contains a spring that may break
from excessive wear. Watch for sharp points that can be
a puncture hazard. Always use care when handling the
motor.
