begin to drop towards the water. About halfway down, the second pin
will be released from tension and can now be removed.
Finally, continue to release pressure
until the dinghy is “floating” and a
third pin can now be released as the motor mount engages with the
transom of the dinghy. You may need to nudge the motor mount into
place. There is a screw type mechanism that must be firmly engaged to
lock the motor mount onto the transom of the dinghy. Once engaged
you can slip the swim step dinghy mounts forward to disengage the
dinghy.
To retrieve the dinghy, engage the mounts on the swim step, unscrew
the motor mount locking mechanism and insert the lower pin. At this
time make sure the pressure relief knob is closed and drop down a foot
pumping lever. Begin pumping this foot pump and when about half
way up, engage one of the pins that is part of the two-pin cable, then
continue to pump until it is possible to engage the third and final pin.
NOTE: The outboard fuel tank is located under the seat and secured in
place with straps. Before retrieving the dinghy, be sure the outboard
tank is secure. Also, close the air vent on the fuel tank so that no
outboard fuel is lost when the dinghy is loaded on the swim step, but
be sure to open that prior to using the dinghy.
