USING & ADJUSTING THE MOTOR
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
When setting the depth be sure the top of the motor is submerged
at least 12”
to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The
propeller must be completely submerged.
1. With the motor deployed, fi rmly grasp the composite shaft above
the mount.
2. Loosen the adjustable depth collar until the shaft slides freely.
3. Raise or lower the motor to the desired depth.
4. Turn the motor control head to the desired position.
5. Tighten adjustable depth collar to secure the motor in place.

INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL TRANSDUCER
An external sonar transducer can be installed onto the motor as shown.
1. Transducer cables should be routed through the coil cable as
depicted in the illustration to the right.
2. Leave enough slack for proper stow and deploy.
3. Mount transducer according to transducer instructions.
Note:
An external transducer is not included with your trolling motor.
Your trolling motor may be pre-installed with a Universal Sonar 2
transducer system. In this case, the transducer is integrated into the
motor unit.

GENERAL OPERATION
USING THE HAND REMOTE WITH THE CORDED FOOT PEDAL
• When the corded foot pedal’s MOM-CON switch is in the CON position or when the Momentary On switch is held, the receiver
WILL NOT RES
POND to any remote commands. When remote commands are received, the receiver will emit an audio chirp.
This will indicate that the remote is functioning properly although a corded foot pedal switch is active and is overriding the
remote.
• When the MOM-CON switch is in the MOM position, the angler may begin using the remote at any time.
• As soon as any remote button is pressed, the initial speed setting will be approximately the same as the corded foot pedal’s
speed control position. However, the prop will not automatically turn on until the remote’s prop on/off button is pressed.
• Pressing the corded foot pedal momentary switch or steering switches will override the remote and receiver function and con-
trol will automatically go to the corded foot pedal. The prop speed will also revert to the current position of the speed control
on the corded foot pedal.
USING THE COPILOT WITHOUT THE CORDED FOOT PEDAL
• If the foot pedal is not being used, the CoPilot receiver will always react to any commands from the CoPilot remote.
REMOTE COMMANDS
There are fi ve buttons on your CoPilot:
•
PROP ON/OFF
Turns the propeller on or off . Press the button once to turn the propeller ON;
press button a second time to turn it OFF. The button does not need to be held down.
•
ST
EER LEFT
/
ST
EER RIGHT
Causes the motor to turn in the desired direction as long as the button is held down. If a steering button is held for more than
seven seconds, the steering will automatically stop until the button is pressed again.
•
INCREAS
E SPEED
/
DECREAS
E SPEED
Pressing and releasing these buttons causes the speed to increase or decrease by one level. The speed is adjustable from level
0-10. At level 0, the prop will not turn.
-
In audio mode 2, an audible beep is heard for each step change in speed. Attempting to go higher than speed 10 or lower
than speed 0 will result in the speed not changing and no beep will be heard. See the Audio Mode section for more informa-
tion.
-
If the receiver senses no foot pedal or remote operation for 1 hour, the remote speed setting is automatically set to zero.
This helps prevent unintentional activation of the propeller if the PROP ON/OFF remote button is inadvertently pressed.
