4. Raise and Lower the Prop.
Before locking it down, use the lever to raise and lower the prop. Confirm
the prop is fully deployed when the lever is in the up position. Turn the
pedal cranks forward and backward to confirm FlexDrive-3D is functioning
properly. Close and lock down the Cover.
Fully Retracted
(A)
Fully retract the drive in very shallow water where you will paddle or
pole your boat, when landing, when cleaning the prop and during
transport.
Mid-Position
(B)
Mid-position is for operation in shallow water (approximately 8”
depending on load), to pass over submerged logs and rocks, and
when it is desirable to run at lower speeds (when trolling, for instance).
Fully Deployed
(C)
Full deployment of FlexDrive-3D is for normal operation in deeper
water and for pedaling at full speeds and covering water fast.
Close the scupper cover to prevent backwash from the prop.
