ADjUSTING THE STEERING CABLE
The steering cable tension is pre-set at the factory but, through normal use, may need occasional adjustment.
a. The Cable Tension Adjustment screw is located at the
base of the Foot Pedal on the Toe End. The screw is
below the Steering Cable Cover. The tension of the
screw can be adjusted using a #3 Phillips Pan head
screwdriver.
b. Turn the screw clockwise to increase tension and
counter-clockwise to decrease tension.

CAUTION
If the cable becomes too loose, it may disengage from the
Wrap Drum that sits on the Steering Housing or the Cable
Pulley in the foot pedal.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the Cable Tension Screw past 10 - 12
in-lbs. Over-tightening the screw will cause damage from
excessive tension.
NOTICE:
The motor will not auto correct to drive straight
when it encounters an obstruction.
AutoPilot button toggles the feature on and off. The red light next to the AutoPilot icon on the Indicator Panel is illuminated when
this feature is engaged. When AutoPilot is engaged, a single tone is emitted. There is no tone emitted when AutoPilot is disengaged.
AutoPilot can also be controlled using the remote. For more specific directions on how to use AutoPilot, please refer to either the
or
Manual.
Steering Lock
When steering the Ultrex with either the foot pedal or compatible
Minn Kota remote, the Steering Lock feature will automatically
lock the motor in the last position that was specified, allowing the
operator to remove their foot from the pedal or hand from the remote
and remain traveling in their chosen direction. The operator can set a new direction at any time by using the foot pedal or remote to rotate
the motor. In the event that the motor encounters a solid obstruction, Steering Lock will rotate and lock the motor into a new position to
prevent damage.
