ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
Tilt Lock Lever
The Tilt Lock Lever is located at the base of the mount opposite of the Lower Unit. The Tilt Lock Lever is used to unlatch the
Steering Housing from the stowed position so the motor can be tilted, pulled upwards and stowed.
Mount Ramp
The Mount Ramp functions to hold the Lower Unit in place when the motor is stowed. The Lower Unit will rest on the Mount
Ramp when stowed, helping to secure it in place.
MOTOR ADJUSTMENTS
Once the boat is on the water, it may be necessary to adjust the Lower Unit up or down to achieve an optimum depth for motor
performance. When setting the depth of the motor, 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.
Adjusting the Depth of the Motor
This motor is equipped with a Push-to-Test Battery Meter. The
LED lights are located on the Indicator Panel on the Mount of
the motor. The Battery Meter provides an accurate display of
the remaining charge in the battery. It is only accurate when the
motor is off. The meter reads as follows:
• One light indicates recharge.
• Two lights indicate low charge.
• Three lights indicate good charge.
• Four lights indicate full charge.

STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
To Deploy the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar, then push firmly down on the
Deploy-Assist Lever to release the Latch Collar and slide the
motor forward, out from the Mount Ramp. Lower the motor
to the desired depth. Make sure it clicks into a secure, vertical
position. Once at the desired depth, slide the Depth Collar
against the Steering Housing and tighten.
To Stow the Motor
Loosen the Depth Collar and depress the Tilt Lock Lever and raise the motor by pulling up on the composite shaft or control
head. Pull the motor toward the stern until it rests securely on the Mount Ramp and the Deploy-Assist Lever captures the Latch
Collar. Slide the Depth Collar down and secure it against the top of the Steering Housing to secure the motor in place and prevent
accidental deployment.

WARNING
When the motor is being transported, it is important to place the Depth Collar snug against the Steering 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.
WARNING
When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear
of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts. Practice
proper ergonomics when stowing and deploying the motor
to prevent injury.
