MOUNT FEATURES
Status Indicator
The Status Indicator is located on the Indicator Panel on the base
of the motor and works while the motor is powered “on”. The
LED associated with the Status Indicator will be illuminated
red when the motor is stowed and will not be illuminated when
the motor is deployed. When the motor is being either stowed or
deployed, the red LED will be flashing.
System Ready Indicator
The System Ready Indicator is located on the Indicator Panel
on the base of the motor and works while the motor is powered “on”. The LED associated with the System Ready Indicator will be
illuminated green when the motor is operating. If the green light does not remain illuminated after power up, this is an
indicator of insufficient voltage/power.
Motor Mount
The Motor Mount is designed to securely hold the motor in place on the deck of the boat. It functions to stow and lock the motor flat
on the deck when not in use by providing secure stowage for transport. The motor mount also positions the motor when it is in the
deployed position.
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.
Emergency Strap
The Emergency Strap must be used to place pressure on the motor shaft to hold the lower unit tightly against the Motor Ramps when
the motor is manually stowed. The Emergency Strap should be secured every time the motor is manually stowed to prevent damage
from high wind, rough water or vibrations, including while the boat is trailered. See the “Manually Stowing the Riptide Ulterra” section
of the manual for more information on when the Emergency Strap is needed.
Belt Collar
The Belt Collar holds the lower portion of the Lift Belt in place. The Lift Belt is runs along the motor Shaft and is used to stow and
deploy the motor. See the “Adjusting the Left Belt” section of this manual if the Lift Belt becomes loose anywhere along the Shaft
above the Belt Collar.
WARNING
When the motor is being transported, it is important to always stow the Motor and make sure it is locked in place. A secure stow holds
the motor in place during transportation when it is subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to stow the motor may result in
injury or damage to the unit.
WARNING
If a propeller encounters an obstruction while running, the increased electrical current being generated by the obstruction will signal
the motor to decrease the power to the propeller to prevent damage. If the current overload is detected for more than 20 seconds, the
prop will be disabled to prevent damage to the motor. In this event, the operator can turn the prop back on after being sure that the
obstruction has been cleared.
WARNING
Never connect the (+) and the (–) terminals of the same battery
together. Take care that no metal object can fall onto the
battery and short the terminals. This would immediately lead to
a short and extreme fire danger.
