ADjUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
NOTICE:
Be sure the top of the motor is submerged
at least 12” below the surface of the water to avoid
churning or agitation of surface water.
NOTICE:
The tension of the Quick Release Depth Collar can
be adjusted with a screw driver to obtain the proper feel.
When setting the depth, be sure the top of the motor is submerged at least 12” to avoid churning or agitation of surface water. The
propeller must be completely submerged.
Adjusting the Depth of the Motor
a. Firmly grasp the Motor Shaft and hold it steady.
b. Loosen the Steering Tension Knob.
c. Open the Lever Arm to loosen the Quick Release
Depth Collar.
d. Vertically adjust the height of the motor to the
desired position.
e. Bring the Depth Collar to the top of the Steering
Tension Knob, and close the Lever Arm to lock the
Depth Collar into position.
f. Tighten the Steering Tension Knob to achieve the
desired steering resistance.
ADDITIONAL ADjUSTMENTS
WARNING
The motor head will create a pinch point if the Steering
Tension Knob is loosened and the motor head slides to the
top of the Quick Release Depth Collar. Grasp the Shaft and
prevent it from sliding all the way down to prevent the pinch
point. Grasp the motor away from the area that may come in
contact with another area of the motor to prevent injury.
Adjusting the Steering
Adjust the Steering Tension Knob to provide enough tension to
allow the motor to turn freely, yet remain in any position without
being held or tighten the knob to place the motor in a preset
position to leave your hands free for fishing.
