ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF THE MOTOR
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.

The Control Head will create a pinch point if the Depth Collar
Knob is loosened and the Control Head slides to the top of
the Depth Collar. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from sliding
all the way down to prevent the pinch point.
WARNING
The Lift Assist Housing contains a spring that may break
from excessive wear. Watch for sharp points that can be a
puncture hazard. Always use care when handling the motor.
