Checking the Latch Pedal
Before you check the latch pedal and springs, you must remove the mount shrouds (Removing the Mount Shrouds).
The latch pedal allows you to stow, deploy, and lock the motor securely. The assembly may become worn over time. If the components are damaged or worn, you must replace them.
Failure to replace worn or damaged latch pedal components could result in impact damage to the trolling motor or accidental trolling motor deployment, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Failure to fully stow the motor when not in use could result in accidental trolling motor deployment, resulting in potential property damage or personal injury.
