Securing the Safety Strap
You must always secure the safety strap after stowing the trolling motor to prevent the motor from deploying unexpectedly. An unexpected deployment of the motor may lead to personal injury and damage to your boat and to the trolling motor.
The safety strap holds the motor securely to the base in the stowed position and prevents unintended deployment.
-
With the motor in the stowed position, lift the long end of the strap
over the top of the motor.
-
Feed the end of the strap through the buckle
on the other end of the strap.
