CAUTIONAlways keep the remote control on your person when using the trolling motor. If the operation of the trolling motor needs to be changed or stopped at any time, you can press on the remote control, press on the foot pedal, or press on the mount to stop the propeller.

  • When using the autopilot features, be prepared for sudden stops, acceleration, and turns.
  • When stowing or deploying the motor, be aware of the risk of entrapment or pinching from moving parts, which can result in injury.
  • When stowing or deploying the motor, be aware of slick surfaces around the motor. Slipping when stowing or deploying the motor may result in injury.

NOTICEYou are required to secure the safety strap when stowing the trolling motor. Failure to secure the trolling motor in the stowed position using the safety strap may result in unexpected deployment, damaging the boat and trolling motor.

Deploying the Motor from the Stowed Position
  1. Disengage the safety strap.
  2. Pull the pull-cable back until it stops to release the latch, and continue to hold it tight.
  3. Lift the motor up and forward using the pull-cable, then lower it slowly into the deployed position.
  4. If necessary, push down on the mount arm to lock the motor in the deployed position.
Adjusting the Depth of the Trolling Motor
  1. Move the motor so that it stops halfway between the stowed and deployed positions.
  2. Loosen the collar at the base of the steering system housing.
  3. NOTE: You should be prepared for the motor to slide down when you loosen the collar.
  4. Tighten the collar at the base of the steering system housing.
  5. Select an action:
    • If you are deploying the trolling motor, move the motor to the fully deployed position to check the depth.
    • If you are stowing the trolling motor, move the motor to the stowed position to check the depth (Stowing the Motor from the Deployed Position, page 1).
  6. Repeat this procedure if necessary to set the correct depth for the deployed or stowed position.
Stowing the Motor from the Deployed Position

NOTICEYou must allow the drive motor to stop rotating completely to one side before moving it to the stowed position. If the motor is still rotating to one side when you move it to the stowed position, it may damage the steering system.

  1. Pull the pull-cable up until it stops to release the latch, and continue to hold it tight.
  2. Lift the pull-cable up and backward to lift and lower the motor slowly into the stowed position.
  3. If necessary, push down on the steering system housing to lock it in the stowed position.
  4. Secure the safety strap

NOTICEYou must adjust the depth of the trolling motor so it rests solidly on the rails of mount base in the stowed position (Adjusting the Depth of the Trolling Motor, page 1). If the depth is adjusted too shallow, it may press on the gas spring. If the depth is adjusted too deep, it may hang off the end of the mount base. Stowing the motor with the depth adjusted either too deep or too shallow will damage the motor.

Securing the Safety Strap

NOTICEYou are required to secure the safety strap when stowing the trolling motor. Failure to secure the trolling motor in the stowed position using the safety strap may result in unexpected deployment, damaging the boat and trolling motor.

The safety strap holds the motor securely to the base in the stowed position and prevents unintended deployment.

  1. With the motor in the stowed position, lift the long end of the strap over the top of the motor.
  2. Feed the end of the strap through the buckle on the other end of the strap.
  3. Pull the strap through the buckle until it holds the motor securely to the mount.
  4. Pull the strap away from the buckle, and push down to fasten
