ADJUSTING THE LOWER UNIT FOR A SECURE STOW
When the Motor is stowed, the Lower Unit should rest on the Fall Away Ramps, a part of the Motor Mount. It is recommended to secure
the motor using the following instructions to avoid damage to the motor and shaft from vibrations during transport.
1
a.
Before transporting the boat over water or land, stow
the motor to determine where the Lower Unit rests
on the Fall Away Ramps.
NOTICE:
The correct positioning of the Lower Unit will
place it directly on the Fall Away Ramps.
b.
If the Lower Unit does not sit on the Fall Away
Ramps, deploy the motor, and stow it again.
c.
Be sure to press the Stow Deploy Lever and adjust
the Motor to allow it to rest on the Fall Away Ramps.
CAUTION
The Lower Unit should be placed on the Fall Away Ramps
every time the motor is transported. If the Lower Unit is
improperly placed, damage to the Lower Unit or Shaft will
occur. Failure to follow the recommended placement for the
Lower Unit will cause damage to the product and void your
product warranty.
When the motor is stowed, the depth collar must be positioned against the steering housing and tightened in place with the knob to
prevent accidental deployment, which may result in injury, or damage to the trolling motor, accessories, or boat.
When the motor is being transported, it is important to place the Depth Collar snug against the Steering Housing and tighten. This
provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration.
Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.
