IMPORTANT: An improperly stowed motor can inadvertently deploy while
underway and cause damage. This damage can include broken components
that may strike occupants of the boat. When stowing the motor always adjust
the trolling motor depth down to the top half of the outer column, ensure the
tie‑down strap is secure and check that the motor is latched before powering or
trailering the boat.
Raise the trolling motor out of the water. While holding the release handle allow
the trolling motor to fall into the stow latched position from the 90° position. Do
not release the latch release handle until the stow latch is engaged.
