1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
• Check battery connections for proper polarity.
• Are batteries charged?
• Make sure terminals and wires are clean and corrosion free. Use fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.
• Check circuit protection devices.
• Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time:
• Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge, or replace.
3. You experience prop vibration during normal operation:
• Remove and rotate the prop 180°. See removal instructions in the Propeller Replacement Section. Replace prop if worn.
4. Experiencing interference with your fi shfi nder:
• You may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth fi nder display. We recommend that you use a seperate deep
cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the depth fi nder from the starting/cranking battery.
5. Motor contacts an object while trimming causing a current limit (red status LED fl ashing):
• Reverse the direction of trimming to clear motor from obstruction.
6. Motor contacts an object while stowing causing current limit (red status LED fl ashing):
• Reverse the current cycle by pressing the stow/deploy button to clear from obstruction.
7. Motor fails to trim:
• Check main lift belt tension per the Adjustments section.
8. Motor fails to stow or deploy:
• Check for obstructions preventing the motor from deploying or stowing.
• Ensure that manual tilt knob is engaged. See the Emergency Stow Procedure section for details.
• Check charge state of trolling motor batteries. If trolling motor battery icon on remote is fl ashing, battery charge is too
low for operation.
9. Prop will not turn on:
• Ensure batteries are suffi ciently charged.
• For safety reasons there is a prop lock out region (approx. 15” from mounting base to lower unit centerline). Ensure that the
lower unit is not in this region.
