TROLLING MOTOR OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Do not use the curly cable as a handle when raising or lowering
the motor.
When adjusting the motor depth, ensure that the lower unit is fully submerged a
minimum of 30 cm (12 in.) to avoid propeller ventilation. Optimal depth of the
lower unit will vary depending on the boat type, water conditions, and the
underwater terrain. If you hear the propeller blades splashing against the water
surface, lower the motor depth.
1. Ensure the propeller is not running before adjusting the depth of the
motor.
2. Firmly grasp the column with one hand and turn the depth collar knob
counterclockwise so the column moves freely.

3. Raise or lower the column to the desired depth. Align the depth collar to
the key slot on top of the transmission. Tighten the depth collar knob to
secure the column.
