MOTOR HAS DIFFICULTY STEERING
• Check if coiled power lead from base to motor head is tangled/knotted
around shaft. Stop, select Manual Mode and unravel or raise shaft from
turnbox collar and manually rotate to disentangle.
MOTOR WILL NOT STAY IN ANCHOR MODE
• Check Remote display for GPS signal – top left 4 bars for signal quality.
Restart Base Assembly and Remote to establish connectivity and satellite
reception.
• Check pairing of Remote and Base Assembly. With power on Remote and
Base, press Pairing button on Base housing and await “shave and a haircut”
pairing signal.
• Check Anchor mode is engaged.
• Check Anchor spot is within 1km of current position (distance should appear
on Remote display).
• Check battery has sufficient power (voltage appears on top line of Remote
display).
• Check coiled upper power lead for tangling.
• Check in Remote/Menu/Settings/Boat size that it conforms with your craft.
• Check current, wind, tide conditions are within operational parameters of
motor. Motor is unable to hold position if wind/water conditions produce boat
drift exceeding potential top speed of motor, eg, around 6kmh..
DIFFICULTY DEPLOYING OR STOWING
• Ensure you follow correct deploy/stow process (refer Stow and Deploy
section in this manual. Pages 13 and 14 ).
• Check for obstructions within the mounting assembly.
• Lubricate shaft with spray lubricant. Concentrate spray on area where shaft
runs through turnbox.
• Clean any debris from the mounting bracket.
• Remove the side covers from the mounting bracket and apply marine grease
to moving parts of the stow/deploy mechanism
