ADjUSTING THE LOWER UNIT FOR A SECURE STOW
STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
To Deploy the Motor
Make sure that the Hold-Down Strap is not secured and then simply
pull back and lift the motor off of the mount with the Pull Grip and
Cable. Lower the motor into the water using the Pull Grip and Cable.
The motor will lock into the deployed position. Once the motor is
deployed, make sure it is seated and locked into position.
To Stow the Motor
Pull back and lift the motor out of the water with the Pull Grip and Cable. Guided by the Pull Grip and Cable, the lower unit will drop
down in the motor rest. The motor will lock into the stowed position. Once the motor is stowed, make sure it is seated and locked into
position. Wrap the Hold-Down Strap over top of the motor shaft to secure the motor. When stowing the motor, it automatically disables
the operational function of the foot pedal or paired remote. Motor stowed will be displayed on the screen of any applicable remote.
a. Before transporting the boat over water or land, stow
the motor to determine where the Lower Unit rests on
the Mount.
b. If the Lower Unit does not sit on the Mount Ramps,
deploy the motor so the Depth Collar can be loosened
and the motor can be adjusted to allow it to rest on
the Motor Ramps.
When the Motor is stowed, the Lower Unit should rest on the Mount Ramps just inside the Motor Rest on the Motor Mount. It is
recommended to secure the motor using the following instructions to avoid damage to the motor and shaft from vibrations during
transport.
NOTICE:
The correct positioning of the Lower Unit will
place it directly on the Mount Ramps located on the
Mount Rest.

CAUTION
The Lower Unit should be placed on the Mount Ramps within
the Motor Rest Area every time the motor is transported. If
the Lower Unit is improperly placed, either above or below
the Motor Rest Area, damage to the Lower Unit or Shaft will
occur and the Shaft will be incorrectly captured in the Yoke.
Not following the recommended placement for the Lower
Unit will cause damage to the product and void your product
warranty.
WARNING
When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of all
hinges, pivot points and all moving parts.
