ADjUSTING THE LOWER UNIT FOR A SECURE STOW
a. Before transporting the boat over water or land, stow
the motor to determine where the Lower Unit rests on
the Fall Away Ramps.
b. If the Lower Unit does not sit on the Fall Away
Ramps, deploy the motor, and stow it again.
c. Be sure to press the Stow Deploy Lever and adjust
the Motor to allow it to rest on the Fall Away Ramps.
When the Motor is stowed, the Lower Unit should rest on the Fall Away Ramps, a part of the Motor Mount. It is recommended to
secure the motor using the following instructions to avoid damage to the motor and shaft from vibrations during transport.
NOTICE:
The correct positioning of the Lower Unit will
place it directly on the Fall Away Ramps.

CAUTION
The Lower Unit should be placed on the Mount Ramps every
time the motor is transported. If the Lower Unit is improperly
placed, either above or below the Motor Rest Area, damage
to the Lower Unit or Shaft will occur and the Shaft will
be incorrectly captured. Not following the recommended
placement for the Lower Unit will cause damage to the
product and void your product warranty.
WARNING
When the motor is being transported, it is important to place the Depth Collar snug against the Lift Assist Housing and tighten. This
provides a secure stow and holds the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration.
Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.
