WARNING
During this procedure, the motor will go into an
automated sequence. Keep fingers clear of all
hinges, pivot points and all moving parts. Ensure
that the motor or parts of the motor do not contact
the boat, trailer, persons, or any other obstruction.
NOTICE: If the motor batteries lose power
to the level that the motor will not stow, the
motor will most likely stall at a 45 degree
angle. If this occurs, reengage power,
deploy the motor, trim motor to its highest
setting, and turn power off until batteries
can be recharged. Once batteries are
charged, attempt to stow again.
MANUAL STOW BYPASS
If the motor loses power or will
not stow by any other method, a
Manual Stow Bypass procedure
can be used to stow the motor.
The Manual Stow Bypass
involves two steps:
1. Manually Trim the Motor
2. Manually Stow the Motor
WARNING
While servicing the motor, stay clear of pinch
points and do not wear loose-fitting clothing or
loose-fitting jewelry.
Manually Trim the Motor
a. With the motor deployed, locate the Trim
Release Lever on the side of the Trim Housing.
b. Firmly grasp the Shaft of the motor. While lifting
