Adjusting the Trolling Motor Depth
!
CAUTION
Avoid possible serious injury from dropping the motor when adjusting the
motor depth. Firmly grasp the motor shaft with one hand when raising or
lowering the motor.
Adjust the depth of the motor to improve trolling motor performance in various
water depths and wave conditions.
IMPORTANT: When adjusting the motor depth, ensure that the propeller
blades are fully submerged 15–30 cm (6–12 in.) below the water surface to
avoid cavitation.
1. Firmly grasp the outer column with one hand.
2. Pull open the cam lock arm until the outer column slides freely.
3. Raise or lower the outer column until the propeller blades are submerged
15–30 cm (6–12 in.) below the water surface.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is nothing obstructing the operation of the cam
lock lever.
4. Rotate the cam lock lever until the depth collar binds tightly on the outer
column, then close the cam lock arm.
