OPERATING TIPS

 

 
With proper care and usage, your Motor Li  unit will provide you with years of trouble-free use.  There are 
two main causes of  failure where precau on is required. 
 

1.  Trailering 
 

The actuator used in your motor li  is a precision engineered electro-mechanical device that can deliver 
up to 5,000 lbs of force for high speed trimming.  Through a unique linear ball screw gear mechanism, the 
actuator is designed to “park” where you put it and it should never se le. 

 

However, as with original equipment trim and  lts, the unit is not designed to support your motor when 
trailering.  Trailering can exert significant forces on your outboard that can cause damage to the motor li  
mechanism and to the outboard itself.  Therefore when trailering, 

always trailer with the motor in the 

fully lowered posi on 

or use a transom support bracket. (Panther offers the 55-1900 or the 55-2100 

shown here) 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 

2.  While fishing… 

Be sure to keep your motor in “ lt” mode so it can pop up if you hit an obstruc on 
 

3.  Other great items from MarineTech… 

If you use your auxiliary motor for trolling, consider adding a Panther Electrosteer and/or a TrollMaster 
for “hands off” direc on and speed control. 

 

NOTICE 

 

DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPER TRAILERING OR WATER INTRUSION THROUGH THE 
BREATHER TUBE IS NOT COVERED BY THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.  IT IS THE USER’S 
RESPONSIBILTY TO INSURE THAT THE NECESSARY PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED.
