USING THE FOOT PEDAL
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. We have designed the Foot Pedal to be an accurate and reliable
tool that will enhance boat operation and improve your ability to catch fish. This product does not relieve you from the responsibility
for safe operation of your boat. You must avoid hazards to navigation and always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to
situations as they develop. You must always be prepared to regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate the Foot Pedal and
trolling motor in an area free from hazards and obstacles.
