Mount
The Mount holds the motor on the deck of the boat. The Mount positions the motor when deployed and secures the motor flat on the
deck when stowed. The Indicator Panel is located on the end of the Mount, near the Power Cables.
Motor Ramps
The Motor Ramps hold and support the Lower Unit when the motor
is stowed. When the Lower Unit rests securely on the Motor Ramps,
the STOWED
LED on the Indicator Panel will illuminate orange.
The Motor Ramps also hold the motor in the deployed position.
Coil Cord Slider
Motors with a shaft length of 72”, 87”, or 100” have a Coil Cord Slider. The Coil Cord Slider functions to support the Coil Cord and
prevent it from becoming tangled or hitting obstructions. The Coil Cord Slider sits on the Shaft between the Control Head and Trim
Housing. The arm of the Coil Cord Slider connects to the Coil Cord. The Coil Cord Slider floats freely on the shaft and moves with the Coil
Cord while stowing and deploying. The Coil Cord Slider is not present on motors with a shaft length of 60”.
