Startup Procedure
1. Pump primer bulb until firm
2. Pull choke
3. Check to see if engagement switch is in start position (this is also neutral)
4. Start engine
5. Let engine warm up before operating
Running Procedure
1. Idle engine down before engaging clutch (forward)
2. When approaching boat ramps, docks, blinds, etc., the clutch may be quickly
engaged/disengaged to make a slow approach
3. Steering Torque. If you find the motor is pulling to one side, you must make
an adjustment by bending the skeg plate (the extruding portion nearest to the
prop) by bending it in the opposite direction from the pull. (see figure below)
Terrain Conditions & Motor Trim Information
Mud
When running through mud, the engine should be trimmed down for maximum
propeller thrust
Sand
When running through sand, leave engine trimmed parallel with the bottom of
the boat. A level forward push is best for hard bottom conditions
Deep Water
Boats will achieve best speeds with the propeller trimmed close to the surface
with half of the prop in the water, and half out. (on most boats)
Trailer Transporting Tips
The Tilt pin is not to be used to tilt the motor up when transporting. Damage
will result. The pin is to be used for polling or inspecting the propeller etc.
Properly secure your motor’s lower unit by strapping to the trailer to ensure the
motor has no side to side movement
