ADJUSTING THE LOWER UNIT FOR A SECURE STOW
a. Before transporting the boat over water or land, stow
the motor to determine where the Lower Unit rests
on the Mount Ramp.
b. If the Lower Unit does not sit on the Mount Ramps,
refer to the Adjusting the Latch Collar section of this
manual. Making adjustments to the Latch Collar will
help the Lower Unit stay on the Mount Ramps as it is
captured by the Deploy Assist Lever.
When the Motor is stowed, the Lower Unit should rest on the Mount Ramp, a part of the Motor Mount. It is recommended to secure the
motor using the following instructions to avoid damage to the motor and shaft from vibrations during transport.
Adjusting the Lower Unit for a Secure Stow
NOTICE: The correct positioning of the Lower Unit will
place it directly on the Mount Ramps.
NOTICE: Slide the Depth Collar down and secure it against
the top of the Steering Housing when stowed to secure the
motor in place and prevent accidental deployment.

CAUTION
The Lower Unit should be placed on the Mount Ramps every
time the motor is transported. If the Lower Unit is improperly
placed, either above or below the Motor Rest Area, damage
to the Lower Unit or Shaft will occur and the Shaft will be
incorrectly captured. Not following the recommended
placement for the Lower Unit will cause damage to the
product and void your product warranty.
WARNING
When the motor is stowed the depth collar must be positioned
against the steering housing and tightened in place with the
knob to prevent accidental deployment which may result in
injury or damage to the trolling motor, accessories or boat.
