WARNING
When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it
is important to place the motor completely out of water.
The motor should be positioned up close to the Bowguard.
The motor should be positioned on the Rails of the Motor
Rest and in the stowed position. Release the Depth Collar
and slide it along the Shaft until it makes contact with
the Bowguard, then re-secure the Depth Collar. For added
security during transport secure the Hold Down Strap. 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.

c. To secure, stow the motor, and then pull the Hold
Down Strap through the rectangular Ring until snug.
Press the hook pad of the strap, into the loop pad
and secure. The Hold Down Strap should be used
whenever the motor is stowed.
a. Place the motor in the stowed position.
b. Measure from the Screw Hole in the Upper Arm to
the Boat Deck or Gunwale. Add 3/4 of an inch to
the total to get the correct Support Shaft length.
c. Take the Support Shaft (Item #6) and trim the bottom
of the Support Shaft with a Hand Saw to the correct
length. Round the cut edge with a File or Sandpaper.

CAUTION
Adjusting the Support Shaft too tightly removes the end
play needed for proper latch pin engagement and doing so
could prevent the mount from fully latching in the stowed
position. Improper latching may cause damage. If installed
correctly, the tip of the Support Shaft should lift off of the
boat deck about 1/4” without the mount unlatching. Cutting
the Support Shaft too short will cause inadequate support of
the mount. Lack of mount support may cause damage.
