Confirm the prop is fully deployed when the lever is in the up position. Turn the pedal cranks forward and backward to confirm FlexDrive-3D is functioning properly. Close and lock down the Cover. Fully Retracted Fully retract the drive in very shallow water where you will paddle or pole your boat, when landing, when cleaning the prop and during transport. Mid-Position Mid-position is for operation in shallow water (approximately 8” depending on load), to pass over submerged logs and rocks, and when it is desirable to run at lower speeds (when trolling, for instance). Fully Deployed Full deployment of FlexDrive-3D is for normal operation in deeper water and for pedaling at full speeds and covering water fast.

To turn right, pull the control back (toward the stern). From the right rudder control, to turn your boat right, push the control forward (toward the bow).

Make sure the lower drive unit is not deployed, so that the propeller is flush with the bottom of the boat. Wrap the bungee around the deployment lever to prevent the Lower Drive Unit from deploying and possibly damaging the unit or the car’s roof (if the boat is car-topped).

We have supplied a spare prop shear pin that is easily replaced to quickly make your drive system operational again. IMPORTANT: Removing the prop should take place on land in the event you drop any of the components.

All gearing resides in the Upper Drive Unit away from water contact.

Periodically remove the prop and inspect for any grit or sand build-up. Do not disassemble the upper unit.
