ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
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.
1. Firmly grasp the motor shaft and hold it steady.
2. Loosen steering tension knob.
3. Open the lever arm to loosen the Quick Release Depth Collar.
4. Vertically adjust the height of the motor to the desired position.
5. Bring the depth collar to the top of the steering tension knob, and close the
lever arm to lock the depth collar into position.
6. Tighten the steering tension knob to achieve the desired steering resistance.
NOTE:
The tension of the quick release depth collar can be adjusted with a screw
driver to obtain the proper feel.
•
Never operate your motor when it is out of the water.
•
Over-tightening the clamp screws can damage the bracket.
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.
