Steering the Motor
Rock the foot pedal heel down to steer left and toe down
to steer right. The motor has a steering range of 400
degrees to help you maneuver in tight spots. The 400
degree range allows you to point the motor past the
straight back position from either the left or right side. This
provides easy control when backing up the boat.
Controlling the Motor Prop
There are two ways to operate the prop:
Momentary or Constant-On.
Momentary
-
Press and hold either Momentary button to
rotate the prop. The Momentary buttons on the Digital
Steer products are programmable. (See Programming
Momentary buttons.)
Constant-On - Press the Constant-On button once to
rotate the prop in a continuous run mode. To cancel
Constant-On, press and release the Constant-On button
or the left Momentary button.
Speed Control Knob -
Control the speed of your motor
by rolling the speed control knob with your foot until you
reach the desired speed.
Motor Set-Up
Stow Alignment Procedure
1) Plug the motor battery cables into a power source.
2) Lower the motor into the Run position.
3) Push the Stow button once.
4) Rotate the Stow Position Dial until the lower unit is
approximately positioned to lie on the mount with the
prop facing to the outside of the boat. The mount is
designed for the prop to face the port (left) side of the
boat. If the mount is installed on the starboard side
(right) of the boat, the prop will be stowed facing
inside.
5) Pull the rope handle to lift the motor out of the water.
With the lower unit close to landing on the bracket
rails, use the dial to steer the lower unit to the left or
right. When the motor is aligned to land squarely on
the bracket rails, gently lower it into position. Push
down on the top housing and column to lock the
motor into place.
Programming Momentary Buttons
Both Momentary buttons are programmed at the factory to
be active. If you prefer having only one active button, the
other button can be deactivated.
