Checking the Latch Pusher Linkage

The latch pusher assembly allows you to stow, deploy, and lock the motor securely. The latch pusher linkage may become worn over time. If the linkage is damaged or worn, you must replace it. Before you check the latch pusher linkage, you must remove the mount shrouds (Removing the Mount Shrouds).

WARNING

Failure to replace worn or damaged latch pusher linkage components could result in impact damage to the trolling motor or accidental trolling motor deployment, resulting in property damage or personal injury.

  1. Inspect the latch pusher linkages and connected latch pushers.
