Owner's Manual

1. Motor fails to run or lacks power:
Check battery connections for proper polarity.
Are batteries charged?
Make sure terminals and wires are clean and corrosion free. Use fi ne sandpaper or emery cloth to clean terminals.
Check circuit protection devices.
Check battery water level. Add water if needed.
2. Motor loses power after a short running time:
Check battery charge. If low, restore to full charge, or replace.
3. You experience prop vibration during normal operation:
Remove and rotate the prop 180°. See removal instructions in the Propeller Replacement Section. Replace prop if worn.
4. Experiencing interference with your fi shfi nder:
You may, in some applications, experience interference in your depth fi nder display. We recommend that you use a seperate deep
cycle marine battery for your trolling motor and that you power the depth fi nder from the starting/cranking battery.
5. Motor contacts an object while trimming causing a current limit (red status LED fl ashing):
Reverse the direction of trimming to clear motor from obstruction.
6. Motor contacts an object while stowing causing current limit (red status LED fl ashing):
Reverse the current cycle by pressing the stow/deploy button to clear from obstruction.
7. Motor fails to trim:
Check main lift belt tension per the Adjustments section.
8. Motor fails to stow or deploy:
Check for obstructions preventing the motor from deploying or stowing.
Ensure that manual tilt knob is engaged. See the Emergency Stow Procedure section for details.
Check charge state of trolling motor batteries. If trolling motor battery icon on remote is fl ashing, battery charge is too
low for operation.
9. Prop will not turn on:
Ensure batteries are suffi ciently charged.
For safety reasons there is a prop lock out region (approx. 15” from mounting base to lower unit centerline). Ensure that the
lower unit is not in this region.
