Section 4 - Trolling Motor Operation

Speed Control

Avoid possible serious injury from unexpected acceleration and boat movement when activating the trolling motor. When
using the foot‑pedal, the motor will start up at the last selected speed and course settings. Before pressing the foot‑pedal,
hold on to a seat or handhold, and advise passengers to do the same.
Control the speed of the trolling motor by adjusting the speed control dial on the foot pedal. Rotate the dial forward to increase
motor speed, and rotate it backward to reduce speed. Press and hold the momentary button to operate the motor at the
selected speed. Release the momentary button to stop the motor. Press the propeller constant on/off button once to run the
motor at the selected speed. Press the button again to turn the motor off. The motor speed can be adjusted while the motor is
running.
