Raising and Lowering the Trolling Motor
Your trolling motor should be raised and lowered
slowly by rope to avoid damage to your boat and
motor. To avoid pinching a toe or finger in the
mount, keep your hands and feet clear of the
mechanism when extending and retracting the
mount.
Ensure the motor is turned off before raising and
lowering the motor.
Raising the Motor
Raise the motor out of the water by pulling on the mount
rope handle. Be careful not to let the weight of the motor
cause it to drop. Pull the rope handle until the motor can
be gently laid across the mount in the stow position.
Pressure is required to lock the motor into the stow
position. The trolling motor shaft is designed to bend
slightly, therefore apply pressure by pushing down on the
top housing and the shaft to lock the motor into stow.
Lowering the Motor
To lower the motor into the water from the stow position;
lift the motor up by pulling the rope handle. Be careful not
to let the weight of the motor cause it to drop. Gently
lower the motor into the water.
Adjusting the Steering Tension (Hand Operated
Motors)
Loosen the steering tension knob until the motor column
turns around freely. Tighten the steering tension knob to
secure the motor column in place.
